Abstract

Nach der zentralen Forderung der Ordnungsethik muessen moralische Normen durch formale und informelle Institutionen, die moralisches Handeln anreizkompatibel machen, implementiert werden. Als eine minimale (normative) Bedingung muessen diese Institutionen in der Lage sein, den homo oeconomicus zu motivieren. Aber auch wenn eine Institution diese Bedingung erfuellt, wird sie nur diejenigen realen Personen zum moralischen Handeln motivieren, die ueber die relevanten Kompetenzen und Selbstwirksamkeitsueberzeugungen verfuegen. An dieser Stelle kann die angewandte Ordnungsethik auf Befunde aus der Psychologie und der experimentellen oekonomik zurueckgreifen. Man kann zeigen, dass Vorbilder Selbstwirksamkeitsueberzeugungen stuetzen koennen und somit aus Sicht der Ordnungsethik wichtiger sind, als deren Vertreter traditioneller Weise annehmen. (According to the order ethics approach to business ethics, moral rules must be implemented by formal and informal institutions, which provide incentives for acting morally. As a minimal (normative) condition, these institutions must be able to motivate the homo economicus. But even if an institution passes this test, it will only motivate actual people (i.e. the homo psychologicus) to follow moral rules, if they have the relevant competences and self-efficacy beliefs. At this point applied order ethics can draw on findings of psychology and experimental economics. It turns out, that role models can support self-efficacy beliefs and are thus more important for order ethics than has traditionally been assumed.)
