THE ETHICAL
​DECISION-MAKING MODEL

Nederlands
How can we answer the most difficult questions?

Imagine an engineer from a car manufacturer comes to his Board of Directors with one simple question. "We have good news, the self-driving car outside is ready! However, we still have to make one choice. In the most extreme situation that the car has to intervene, does the driver die or the child that stands in front of the car?" What do you do as the person with ultimate responsibility to answer that question?

Jop Versteegt works in the financial sector and, as a part-time PhD candidate at the Rotterdam School of Management, Erasmus University (RSM), conducts scientific research on whether we can improve our ethical decision-making by using a normative ethical decision-making model. He is also exploring whether Artificial Intelligence can contribute valuable valuable insights to this process.

Ethical Dilemmas in the Financial Sector
Jop Versteegt

This collection of contributions from scientists and professionals offers perspectives on business ethics. In the chapter "Ethical Dilemmas in the Financial Sector," I share some of my initial research findings. Essentially, I believe that by following a step-by-step plan, we can better address moral dilemmas and more effectively justify our approach. In this publication, I present a series of arguments for using a
normative ethical decision-making model.

THE STATUS OF NORMATIVE ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING MODELS:
THE DEVELOPMENT AND APPLICATION OF AN ANALYTICAL FRAMEWORK

Jop Versteegt, Marius van Dijke and Muel Kaptein

Abstract: Normative ethical decision-making models (NEDMs) are designed to enhance ethical decision-making. NEDMs are widely employed in business contexts. Unfortunately, there is no overview of NEDMs available in the scientific literature for use in business contexts. Additionally, there is no analytical framework that allows the classification and evaluation of existing NEDMs. Our literature search identified 28 unique NEDMs published in the English-language scientific business literature through 2024. We subsequently developed a novel, four-dimensional NEDM analytical framework. Applying this framework to the identified models revealed that most NEDMs consist of five to eight steps that must be followed in a fixed sequence, omit key decision-making steps, treat decision-makers as objective, primarily engage with classical ethical theories while making minimal attempts to weigh conflicting moral norms, values or principles, and prescribe how decisions should be made rather than prescribing decision outcomes. We discuss how our framework can assist scholars and practitioners in developing, validating, and selecting NEDMs.
