What does it take for people to flourish inside the institutions that shape daily life? Schools, workplaces, and public systems aim to promote development, yet under strain they can also produce exclusion, mistrust, and harm. The five articles in this special issue approach a shared question from different settings: how can institutions design practices and tools that support learning, well-being, dignity, and sustainable outcomes while remaining ethically grounded?

Ethics for Human Flourishing: Trust, Voice, Dignity, and Sustainable Institutions
Vol. 5 No. 2 (2026)This special issue of JoRIE features papers developed through the 2026 Ethics Paper Competition at Anderson University and Christ University. Together, these student-authored papers explore how ethics is lived through the quality of relationships within organizations, markets, and institutions. Rather than treating ethics only as compliance, individual decision-making, or abstract principle, this issue examines the relational conditions that allow people and communities to flourish. Trust, dignity, voice, accountability, psychological safety, fairness, and shared responsibility are presented as essential foundations for ethical organizational life.
The papers in this issue consider how power, ambition, leadership, workplace expectations, sustainable finance, ESG outcomes, intergenerational learning, and institutional credibility shape the human experience of work and society. Some contributions examine how excessive power or self-serving ambition damages trust, silences candor, and reduces people to instruments of personal or organizational gain. Others explore how ethical leadership, reverse mentoring, transparent governance, sustainable investment, and value-aligned workplaces can rebuild the relational fabric necessary for flourishing.
Together, the issue advances a central claim: human flourishing depends on ethical relationships. Organizations and institutions flourish when people are treated with dignity, when voice is protected, when power is exercised as stewardship, and when ethical commitments are made visible through trustworthy practices and measurable outcomes. This issue invites readers to reconsider ethics not merely as avoiding wrongdoing, but as cultivating the relational, cultural, and institutional conditions through which people, organizations, communities, and ecosystems can thrive.
