The author’s approach to discovering these solutions include putting to use ideas that she has developed over 25 years of working in the corporate environment and being an entrepreneur, with the desire to create highly positive and productive work environments to realize successful businesses and successful lives for everyone involved.
Findings
There are several simple but powerful things that every manager and business leader can do to promote a highly productive and motivated workforce. Mind and body wellness is a foundation for performance and motivation, with a focus on the mind. If managers and business leaders cultivate an open and encouraging work culture, the positive psychology experienced by employees will help to motivate them in both their professional and personal lives.
Originality/value
The author finds that people rarely understand the impact of mind and body wellness on the success of the individual and the organization overall.

Abstract
This research provides accounting-ethics authors and administrators with a benchmark for accounting-ethics research. While Bernardi and Bean (2010) considered publications in business-ethics and accounting’s top-40 journals this study considers research in eight accounting-ethics and public-interest journals, as well as, 34 business-ethics journals. We analyzed the contents of our 42 journals for the 25-year period between 1991 through 2015. This research documents the continued growth (Bernardi & Bean, 2007) of accounting-ethics research in both accounting-ethics and business-ethics journals. We provide data on the top-10 ethics authors in each doctoral year group, the top-50 ethics authors over the most recent 10, 20, and 25 years, and a distribution among ethics scholars for these periods. For the 25-year timeframe, our data indicate that only 665 (274) of the 5,125 accounting PhDs/DBAs (13.0% and 5.4% respectively) in Canada and the United States had authored or co-authored one (more than one) ethics article.
