    Strong business–state alliances at the expense of labour rights in Ethiopia’s apparel-exporting industrial parks.Mohammed Seid Ali & Solomon Molla Ademe - 2023 - African Journal of Business Ethics 17 (1):1-21.
    In the past decade, Ethiopia has demonstrated a strong ideological convention to the East-Asian model of ‘developmental state’, which stands for state-led industrialisation as its underlying industrial policy premise. Nevertheless, the labour rights externalities of this industrial policymaking have been overlooked in the existing academic and practical policy debates. Hence, using qualitative empirical data, the article attempts to address the research gap by analysing why and how Ethiopia’s state-led industrialisation and the corporate behaviours of apparel-exporting firms, as well as their (...)

    The use of non-financial performance metrics in determining directors’ remuneration: The case of listed companies in South Africa.Reon Matemane, Tankiso Moloi, Michael Adelowotan & Pallab Kumar Biswas - 2023 - African Journal of Business Ethics 17 (1):22-44.
    Despite the increasing importance of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors, it is not fully understood whether companies consider these factors when designing compensation plans for their directors. This study investigated the extent to which directors’ remuneration integrates ESG factors. The study sample is made up of JSE-listed companies for the period 2015 to 2021. The estimated generalised least squares regression technique was used to analyse the data. The results show the shift towards the integration of ESG factors in directors’ (...)

    From feasting to fasting: An autoethnography of Njangis.Chimene Nukunah - 2023 - African Journal of Business Ethics 17 (1):45-53.
    IIn this article, I use autoethnography to share my personal experiences with Njangis in Cameroon, Central Africa. ‘Njangi’ is an old business practice where members of a community contribute money to assist one another turn by turn. There is literature on the concept of Njangis, however, autoethnography has not been used to share the rich African values that underpin this concept. Using reflexivity as a postmodernist technique, I describe my experiences with Njangis as both a child and adult, while contrasting (...)

    The predicament of the unprotected: Why lack-lustre legislation fails South African whistleblowers.Ugljesa Radulovic - 2023 - African Journal of Business Ethics 17 (1):54-75.
    Inadequate legal provisions in South African state law have left whistleblowers vulnerable. Despite the existence of the Protected Disclosures Act (and its amendment) aimed at safeguarding whistleblowers, the law has numerous loopholes. The participants in this qualitative study expressed the view that the law is indeed ineffective. While calls are being made to amend state law for adequate whistleblower protection, such efforts would be futile unless provisions are adapted from reliable instruments for implementation in the South African context. This article (...)
