Understanding Moral Injury and Its Impact on Employees in Crisis Situations

Moral injury, or ethical suffering, occurs when employees face distress from workplace demands that conflict with their values, often prioritizing profit over care. The case of Efe Demir, a bank employee who died by suicide after criticizing his employer's response to the 2023 Turkey earthquake, highlights this issue. Experts note moral injury affects various professions, especially during crises, causing psychological harm and feelings of isolation when employees perceive organizational wrongdoing without corrective action.
