Abstract
Many models of (un)ethical decision making assume that people decide rationally and are in principle able to evaluate their decisions from a moral point of view. However, people might behave unethically without being aware of it. They are ethically blind. Adopting a sense making approach, we argue that ethical blindness results from a complex interplay between individual sense making activities and context factors.
