Sommario/riassunto

Gagari Chakrabarti is an Associate Professor in Economics at Presidency University, Kolkata, West Bengal, India. Her research interest lies in the areas of Financial Economics, Financial Econometrics and more recently, in emotional intelligence. Tapas Chatterjea is a senior, multi-discipline specialist medical professional. He provides consultancy in Cardio-vascular, Internal, Geriatric, Holistic and Critical care medicines; Diabetology and Thyroid diseases as well as Mental Health, Stress and Hospital Management. This book explores how the ethically inconsistent behaviour in workplaces can be rooted in moral fibers of the decision-makers, and/or in their varying moral foci depending on the philosophical cornerstones, on which those rest. It explores further whether such decisions may be shaped or modified by contextual factors leading, possibly, to bounded ethicality. Based on a primary



survey approaching the academicians, administrators, and other service-holders from India and abroad, it analyses the problem, its determinants and variations across socio-economic and demographic factors.
