Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Junzi virtues on employees and firm performance. “Junzi” symbolizes the ideal individual who demonstrates virtues such as benevolence, righteousness, moral conduct, wisdom, and trustworthiness. We develop various propositions to measure the “Junzi” effect on employee outcomes and subsequently aim to investigate firm performance. A mixed-methods approach will be deployed to test the outlined propositions. Samples will be collected from different organizations operating in Hong Kong. This inquiry will contribute to the literature on virtue ethics.
