Neuroscience. Business ethics, Organizational Cognitive neuroscience, Decision MakingAbstract
Purpose: This article offers a methodology for evaluating OCN research by academics, stressing possible theoretical advances and putting an emphasis on empirical studies for theoretical understanding.
Methodology: The current scope of OCN was examined utilizing a systematic evaluation technique, which indicated three separate groupings of operations in economics, marketing, and organizational behavior.
Findings: Organizational behavior is an oddity since it has more empirical studies. As suggested, the field's many studies approach account for this largely. All three groups contribute to our understanding of how living things make decisions.
Unique Contribution to Theory, Policy and Practice: As per this article, OCN research has bestowed a considerable understanding of the limitations of human freedom in multiple fields and the role of autonomy in shaping work. In addition to the topics proposed by the authors of the examined publications, it also emphasizes newer areas of investigation.
