Abstract

WARNICK, Benjamin J; RODRIGO, Pablo; ALBRECHT, Chad O  and  STEPHENS, Nathaniel M. Individual Scholar Productivity Rankings in Business Ethics Research. Innovar [online]. 2014, vol.24, n.54, pp.183-198. ISSN 0121-5051.  https://doi.org/10.15446/innovar.v24n54.46719.

The last two decades have been a time of significant development for the academic business ethics community. While a number of scholars have contributed to advances in the field, the work of the individuals who have contributed to its progress and growth through their business ethics research is still not comprehensively understood within the academic business ethics community. This study identifies those individuals who have made major contributions to the business ethics field by ranking authors who have published business ethics-related research in the following six journals over the past 20 years: the Journal of Business Ethics, the Academy of Management Review, the Academy of Management Journal, the Business Ethics Quarterly, the Administrative Science Quarterly; and Business & Society. The results of the study should be of interest to a number of constituencies as they provide the academic business ethics community with a better understanding of the history and evolution of the field and its development towards academic maturity.

Keywords : Business ethics rankings; business ethics scholars; evolution of the business ethics field; business ethics research contributions.
