Abstract Details

2012, Master of Arts, University of Akron, Sociology.
Limited research has been done on how individuals attribute responsibility in cases of organizational wrongdoing. Drawing on Gailey and Lee's (2005a) integrated model, the goal of this thesis is to test the role that empathy plays in attributing responsibility. Those who demonstrate greater levels of empathy are more likely to hold organizations responsible than individuals.
