Discussion: View Thread

Hi Bruce


Vermeir and Van Kenhove (2008) compared views of corporate actions and those of consumers. Using short stories or 'scenarios', they found that; the 'unethical' actions of consumers are more acceptable than corporate actions; women are more likely than men to rate a situation as unethical; and women are less likely to apply double standards. This journal might be worth scanning further. Hope this helps some:



Vermeir, I. and Van Kenhove, P. (2008) 'Gender differences in double standards', Journal of Business Ethics, 81: 281-95.

Subject: Looking for some literature


Colleagues,

I'm looking for any literature that addresses the problem of double standards in the workplace. I've searched the EBSCO database for the term "double standards," but when I remove the word "sex" I get ONE article, and that one is about morality. Searches of the terms "double standards" with leadership, management, workplace and work each produce no results.

If you have any other ideas about where I might look for articles, I would appreciate your input.

Cheers, Bruce

Bruce,
I would look at the in-group and out-group distinctions showcased in the leader-member exchange and social psychology literatures. In particular, the early LMX literature looked at leader treatment and expectations of subordinates based on membership status.

Good luck!

Sincerely,

Tim Munyon
