Faculty Moral Injury in Everyday Postsecondary Life

This roundtable promotes discourse surrounding moral injury among Business school faculty. Moral injury develops from perceived transgressions of one’s deeply held moral values through leadership failures, ethical lapses, and moral dilemmas. Discourse surrounding moral injury has largely been within the clinical domain and related to military populations confronting extreme organizational events. Moral injury’s subclinical occurrence in “traditional” organizational contexts has received little attention. Participants will explore how moral injury manifests in everyday postsecondary life and impacts faculty wellbeing, student outcomes, and the learning climate. Additionally, participants will consider intervention strategies and promising research questions for furthering insights surrounding the phenomenon.
