Abstract

Though that the importance of business ethics is growing, research and education of business ethics are insufficient. There are still few to teach business ethics as a formal subject at four-year universities, and there is little research on business ethics. The education of business ethics is mainly a simple type of discussion that focuses on cases. The research of business ethics is focused on corporate social responsibility, ignoring many subjects to be dealt with in business ethics. Starting from this recognition, this paper uses qualitative research method to identify five topics to be addressed in business ethics: employee right, employee responsibility, environmental responsibility, diversity and discrimination, and international business and globalization. Directions for education and research related to each subject are from examining the latest literature related to each topic. Specifically, this paper discusses the contents to be educated in each topic, and presents directions of research to be done in the future. Consequently, this paper presents directions for the development of education and research on the five topics in business ethics. Based on this research as the theoretical basis, various researches on each subject will be possible in the future.

최근 들어 기업윤리의 중요성이 국내와 국외에서 크게 대두되고 있음에도 불구하고, 국내외에서 이뤄지는 기업윤리의 연구와 교육은 매우 미흡하다. 국내 4년제 대학교에서 정식 과목으로 기업윤리를 개설해 가르치는 곳이 아직까지 매우 적으며, 기업윤리에 관한 연구 역시 부족하다. 대학교에서 정식 과목으로 기업윤리를 개설해 가르치더라도 사례를 중심으로 진행하는 단순한 토론형태의 수업에 머무르고 있고, 기업윤리에 관한 연구 또한 기업의 사회적 책임에 편중됨으로써 기업윤리에서 다루어야 할 많은 주제들을 외면하고 오로지 기업의 사회적 책임만을 집중적으로 탐구하는 흐름으로 이뤄지고 있다. 이와 같은 문제의식에서 출발한 본 논문은 질적 연구의 방법을 사용해 기업윤리에서 꼭 다루어야 할 5가지 주제인 직원의 권리, 직원의 책임, 환경에 대한 책임, 다양성과 차별, 그리고 다국적 기업과 세계화를 제시하였고, 각 주제와 관련된 최신문헌들을 고찰함으로써, 각 주제와 관련된 교육과 연구를 위한 방향들을 제시하였다. 구체적으로, 5가지 주제와 관련해서 학생들에게 반드시 교육이 이루어져야 할 내용을 논의하였고, 향후에 반드시 이뤄져야 할 연구의 방향들을 제시하였다. 즉, 본 논문은 기업윤리의 5가지 주제들을 제시하고 각 주제에 필요한 교육과 연구의 방향들을 제시하고 있다. 본 연구를 이론적 근거로 하여 향후 각 주제들에 대한 다양한 후속 연구들이 가능할 것이다.
