Collective responsibility and professional roles

Journal of Business Ethics · 1986 · Volume 5 · Issue 2

Abstract

Flores and Johnson (Ethics93 No. 3 (1983) pp. 537, 545.) offer a solution to the problem of individual and collective responsibility which obscures the fundamental requirement for responsibility ascriptions, namely, moral agency. Close attention to matters of individual and collective agency provides a simple yet defensible criterion for establishing when an individual is and isn't responsible for the untoward consequences of a collective act.
