The Ethics of Influence: A Review of Nudging Applications in Corporate Ethics and Their Role in Combating Organizational Misconduct

Mohammad Chaidir — 2026-03-31

This qualitative literature review explores the role of behavioral nudging as a tool for enhancing corporate ethics and curbing organizational misconduct. Drawing on empirical and theoretical studies from behavioral ethics, organizational psychology, and compliance management, the review examines how subtle interventions—such as reminders, social norm cues, and visual prompts—can influence ethical decision-making in the workplace. The findings suggest that nudges are effective in reducing ethical fading, improving compliance, and reinforcing ethical culture when aligned with organizational values and context. However, concerns regarding manipulation, cultural adaptability, and long-term efficacy remain. This review highlights the importance of integrating nudging within a broader ethical infrastructure and calls for future research on scalable, transparent, and culturally sensitive applications of ethical influence in diverse organizational settings

Moral Legitimacy and Joint Purpose: A Literature Review on the Ethical Foundations of Collaborative Organizations

Grace Yulianti — 2026-03-31

This qualitative literature review explores the ethical foundations of collaborative organizations by examining the interplay between moral legitimacy and joint purpose. Drawing from recent scholarship in organizational ethics, stakeholder theory, and virtue ethics, the review highlights how organizations achieve moral legitimacy through shared values, inclusive governance, and ethically anchored missions. Joint purpose emerges as a unifying force that fosters trust, identity, and stakeholder commitment across complex collaborations. The synthesis reveals that organizations sustaining both moral legitimacy and joint purpose are more adaptive, ethically resilient, and capable of creating long-term value. The review also identifies theoretical gaps and suggests directions for future research on moral agency and collective value creation within hybrid organizational forms

Strategic Intermediation in Corporate Asset Markets: A Qualitative Literature Review on the Role of Non-Venture Private Equity Firms

Ria Wulandari — 2026-03-31

This qualitative literature review explores the strategic role of non-venture private equity (PE) firms as intermediaries in corporate asset markets. Distinct from venture capitalists, these PE firms specialize in acquiring, restructuring, and reallocating mature corporate assets, thereby enhancing market efficiency and value creation. By synthesizing recent studies, this review highlights how non-venture PE firms facilitate resource redeployment, drive operational improvements, and influence corporate governance. Comparative analysis reveals their unique ability to exploit inefficiencies through carve-outs, platform building, and targeted acquisitions. The review also examines emerging ESG considerations and critiques regarding short-termism and stakeholder impact. While the literature acknowledges the transformative role of these firms, it also identifies limitations in theoretical integration and empirical coverage. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of how non-venture PE firms shape firm boundaries, market structures, and the evolving logic of strategic intermediation.

Strategic Communication and Investor Persuasion in Syndicated Capital Raising: A Qualitative Literature Review

A. Sigit Pramono Hadi — 2026-03-31

This qualitative literature review examines the role of strategic communication and persuasive signaling in syndicated capital raising. Drawing from interdisciplinary sources in finance, economics, and organizational behavior, the review synthesizes how lead investors utilize narrative framing, information asymmetry reduction, and trust-based messaging to influence co-investor commitment. The findings reveal that persuasion in syndication is not only a matter of financial signaling but also a communicative process that shapes collective investment decisions. Furthermore, the review highlights the critical role of communication strategies in aligning investor interests, mitigating uncertainty, and facilitating decision-making under bounded rationality. Implications for investor coordination, capital structuring, and future research directions are discussed

Designing Optimal Whistleblowing Mechanisms: A Qualitative Literature Review on Bounty Size, Strategic Thresholds, and Regulatory Effectiveness

Ahembang — 2026-03-31

This qualitative literature review explores how bounty size, strategic thresholds, and regulatory effectiveness shape the design and outcomes of whistleblowing mechanisms. By synthesizing empirical and theoretical insights from leading accounting and finance journals, the study identifies three interrelated findings: first, that larger bounty rewards increase reporting volume but may reduce signal quality; second, that insiders’ reporting thresholds are influenced by retaliation risk, compensation incentives, and perceived enforcement credibility; and third, that regulatory backlogs and discretion can distort the intended deterrent effect of whistleblowing policies. The review highlights the need for a holistic design approach that integrates incentive alignment with institutional capacity and protection mechanisms. Limitations in jurisdictional generalizability, demographic heterogeneity, and the evolving role of digital reporting platforms are also discussed. Recommendations for future research include examining whistleblowing in non-U.S. contexts, integrating organizational culture, and assessing the role of emerging technologies
