Intimate partner violence and business : exploring the boundaries of ethical enquiry
Charlotte M. Karam, Michelle Greenwood, Laura Kauzlarich, Anne O’Leary Kelly, Tracy Wilcox
In this article, we conceptualize the under investigated and under theorized relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV) and business responsibility. As an urgent social issue, IPV - understood as abuse of power within the context of an intimate partner relationship, mainly perpetrated by men and involving a pattern of behavior - has been studied for decades in many disciplines. A less common yet vital research perspective is to examine IPV as it relates to the business and to ask how organizations should engage with IPV. In response to this question, we contribute a framework drawing from two distinctions in the business responsibility scholarship: the assumed role of the organization (responsibility to the firm/market; responsibility to the broader socio-political-economic environment); and the second focused on the approach to conceptualizing ethics (justice/fairness; ethics of care). Thus, we explicate four approaches to business responsibility and IPV, which serve the purposes of mapping three selected contributions, identifying limitations of these approaches, and opening up future research opportunities.
