The purpose of this paper is three-fold. First, to offer fully developed exercises for
educators and scholars that could be added immediately to a business ethics course to explore timely
ethical issues in an exciting way. Second, to highlight the benefits of incorporating Positive
Psychology and a discussion of character strengths into business ethics courses (or courses that
include units on ethics or sustainability) to enhance the understanding and practice of ethical
decision-making in the business context. Third, to offer a framework other educators could use to
create a content-generating and engaging workshop at their discipline-specific conferences.
Keywords: exercise, positive psychology, ethical decision-making, framework
