Current project highlights:
My co-authors and I are working on a business ethics piece intended to (1) integrate self-determination theory, institutional logics, and care ethics into a novel motivational model of financial advisor ethics. (2) show how misalignment between organizational logics and advisors’ psychological needs undermines fiduciary behavior, while alignment fosters ethical agency. And (3) provide practical recommendations for compensation and organizational design to enhance fiduciary duty, advisor well-being, and client trust in financial services.
In addition to professional ethics, I am also in the early stages of working on a monograph project concerning the erosion of trust in institutions.
