KURUMLARDA YAŞANAN AHLAKİ ÇÖZÜLME MEKANİZMASINA İLİŞKİN BİR ÖRNEK OLAY İNCELEMESİ

Öz Ahlaki çözülme kavramı, kişilerin, ahlaki standartlarıyla, içinde bulundukları davranışın birbirleriyle uyuşmaması neticesinde yaşamış oldukları çelişkiyi, bir takım bilişsel mekanizmaları kullanarak ortadan kaldırma çabası içine girmeleri olarak tanımlanabilir. Bu çalışmada, kurumlarda yaşanan etik dışı davranışların zeminini oluşturabileceği düşünülen ahlaki çözülme sürecinin aşamaları, hizmet sektöründe faaliyet gösteren bir kurumda gerçekleşmiş olan bir örnek olay yardımıyla derinlemesine incelenmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, bu çalışmanın hem ahlaki çözülme mekanizmalarına zemin oluşturabilecek öncellerin tespiti hem de konuyla ilgili alandaki az sayıdaki nitel çalışmayı destekleyici özelliği nedeniyle yazına katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
