"Professional Core Values" explores the crucial role of ethics in professional environments, moving beyond simple compliance to foster genuine ethical behavior. By integrating organizational psychology, the book examines the psychological drivers behind ethical and unethical conduct, highlighting how cognitive biases and moral reasoning influence decision-making. The book argues that a values-driven organization, cultivated through ethical leadership and a supportive organizational culture, is more effective than top-down mandates in ensuring workplace ethics. 

 
The book provides practical frameworks for ethical decision-making, including stakeholder analysis, and explores how to build and sustain an ethical organizational culture. It draws upon empirical research, case studies, and surveys to illustrate the impact of ethical failures and successes.

Beginning with fundamental ethical theories, the book progresses through sections on psychological factors, practical frameworks, and creating an ethical organizational culture. It offers actionable strategies for building a values-driven environment, making it an invaluable resource for business leaders, managers, and HR professionals seeking to promote integrity and ethical behavior within their organizations.

Confronting Sacred Inequalities...

Leanne M. Dzubinski

Why do women often struggle to thrive in Christian workplaces? 
 
Prominent male Christian leaders are often called to account for improper behavior with women in their organizations. There are certainly a few bad actors, but is something systemically amiss in Christian organizations? 
 
In Confronting Sacred Inequalities, Leanne Dzubinski shows how secular inequalities have been imported into Christian spaces and treated as sacred. Beliefs about women that don't align with Scripture and God's view of women have too often been promoted as biblical. She identifies five pitfalls that often occur in Christian organizations that make it difficult for women to flourish: 
 
● "Sex and the office": An undue focus on sexuality 
● "Hey, guys!": Language that marginalizes women 
● "I can't; I have to work": Assumptions about work culture that leave women feeling like they constantly fall short 
● "Are you sure that's right?": Ambivalence toward women 
● "There are no good women leaders": Cultural and Christian stereotypes that frame leadership as male 
 
Dzubinski explains how organizational dysfunction is often caused by systems that prioritize men over women in ways that are detrimental to the organization as well as to the people in them--men and women alike. Each chapter offers scriptural perspectives and practical suggestions to help leaders create organizational cultures where everyone can flourish and work together as siblings in Christ.
