Assessment of ethical performance of organization members: a conceptual framework
Article Abstract:
This article describes a conceptual framework that facilitates the assessment of the ethical performance of organization members. Based upon measurement principles applied to general work performance assessment, this framework is comprised of three components: the major stakeholders of the organization, the categorizing of organization members into individual or group units for accountability, and the division of performance into behaviors or results. Ethical standards can be formulated for combinations of these three components and expressed in terms of existing laws, or organizational or professional standards. The importance of the framework for business ethics research and theory development is discussed. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Corporate image, recruitment image, and initial job choice decisions
Article Abstract:
Aspects of corporate image, or the image associated with the name of an organization, and recruitment image - the image associated with its recruitment message - were studied. Data collected from five student groups indicate that the image of an organization is related to the information available about it. Additional results are that different external groups only moderately agree on ratings of corporate image, potential applicants have different corporate and recruitment images of the same organizations, and corporate image and recruitment image are significant predictors of initial decisions about pursuing contact with organizations.
