| Abstract: | Herein, it is argued that professional moral courage (PMC) is a managerial competency. In order to describe it and derive items for scale development, managers in the U.S. military are studied, examining prior work on moral courage. Two methods are used to measure PMC producing a 5-dimensional scale that organizes under a single 2nd-order factor, called overall PMC. The five dimensions: moral agency, multiple values, endurance of threats, going beyond compliance, and moral goals. Confirmatory factor analysis procedures are used to analyze convergent and discriminant validity. It is concluded by presenting a framework for proactive organizational ethics, reflecting how to support PMC as a management practice. |
