Individuals in many cases are surprised to hear that our ethicality is overvalued by many people at some point. Critical research indicates that we are oblivious of the difference between how ethical we think we are and we really are. The authors bounded ethicality and talk about the implications of these states for organizations and describe the related theories of restricted consciousness.
Then they supply three tools for improving our individual ethicality and sum up several facets of organizational life that must be analyzed more closely to reduce unethical behavior on a group level, including addressing 'hidden but powerful informal principles' and 'ethical sinkholes'.
