This paper provides a theoretical basis for organizational virtue and proposes a
framework for ethical evaluation of organizational scandals that cannot be assessed
using individual virtue standards. I first review traditional virtue ethics and show its
limitations. Next, I focus on how organizational virtue can overcome these limitations
and examine previous research. I then define an organizational virtue as a character
trait that helps stakeholders flourish and propose a framework for organizational virtue
ethics based on this definition. Finally, I attempt an ethical evaluation of the Japan Post
Insurance scandal within the proposed framework.
