説明

Mainly in the U. S. business schools since 1970th, business ethics has been sophisticated by many researchers, but due to the pragmatic bias, lack in methodological investigations into the flames of reference. The purpose of this paper is to found empirical business ethics studies, focusing on the three interpretive approaches from the methodological point of view. Firstly a preparatory investigation is made about interpretivism illuminated from the 1990th's paradigm debate in the field of business ethics. Secondly a detail analysis is tried into the three interpretive approaches which are categorized by Habermas's understanding on hermeneutics. Through the preparatory investigation, the two streams will be found as theoretical premises of empirical business ethics studies. One is structural-functionalism and the other is interpretivism, which has been worthy of note but not been explored so much. Then the interpretive approaches are reviewed and clarified based on their evaluation standards about the validity and objectivity of interpretive process. According to Habermas's understanding, hermeneutic methods are categorized as follows, (1) hermeneutic objectivism (2) radical hermeneutics (3) hermeneutic reconstructionism. The respective types of social science research and business ethics studies are located in these three interpretive schemes. For instance, Baumhart's naive mass survey of the managers' morality is viewed as hermeneutic objectivism. As radical hermeneutics may be located Kondo's deconstructional study on workers' identity and the exploitative labour process. Lastly as cases of hermeneutic reconstructionism, the Kohlbergian approach into managers' moral judgements and the organizational moral ethos is discussed in detail. This paper concludes that critical business ethics is needed that interprets and exposes the ideological aspects of organizations, extending the ideal of the hermeneutic reconstructionism approach.
