Organization Ethics and Strategic Factors for CSR Management

In the modern era, under the slogan of “building a welfare society”, the production and distribution of wealth through industrialization was oriented and practiced. Industrialization is a social mechanism of mass production, mass sale, and mass consumption through organized labor, which organized factory-based machine production and mass labor, and was accompanied with not only the “production and distribution of wealth” but also the “production and distribution of risk”. As a concrete example, we can raise pollution and global environmental problems, including health hazards, but also the consequences of too much of a desire for “riches”. Therefore, we are asked to take the results seriously, reflect deeply, and take corrective action. It is called “Reflexive Modernization”. Today, pollution and global environmental problems have triggered “Corporate Social Responsibility” (CSR), “Sustainability”, “the Triple Bottom Line” (important value to be achieved; “economic value”, “environmental value”, “social value”) and “Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)”, among others, have become hot topics, and the response to “Reflexive Modernization” is steadily taking root. And in such responses, what is expected and focused on by society, among other things, would be reflection on the management of the individual firms that have been responsible for industrialization. In this regard, we have seen “CSR Management”, “Business Ethics” or “Management Ethics”, “Sustainable Management”, “ESG (Environment, Social and Governance) Management”, “CSV (Creating Shared Values)”, and the latest “SDGs Management” have been raised and addressed in both theory and practice. However, it is hard to deny the reality that these concepts have become “trendy” before their meanings, their backgrounds, and their ranges have been sufficiently examined. CSR Management, Sustainable Management, ESG Management, CSV, and SDGs Management represent the content and direction of “Reflexive Modernization” at the company level, and “ Business Ethics”, “Management Ethics” or “Organization Ethics” are the foundation of this management. However, when asked if there is a theoretical and systematic development of the distinction between the concepts and their relation to the degree to which they are talked about, the answer would have to be no. The purpose of this paper is to examine the “relationship between organization moral creation and organization ethics” as a strategic factor in the actualization of CSR management on the basis of the distinction and relationship between the concepts of ethics and morality, as well as the above-mentioned concepts. For that purpose, as the basic thought framework of this paper, I will first explain the necessity or background of moral creation under the title of “Environment of Organization Moral Creation” in section II, and then, in section III, I will discuss the distinction between organization morality and organization ethics, their interrelationships, and their dynamism. In IV, I will discuss the creation of shared value, which builds on these and opens up possibilities for “the dynamic organizing of responsibility”. And finally, these issues and concepts are confirmed to be “strategic factors to the realization of CSR management”.departmental bulletin pape
