Research on ethics in group dynamics to date is antiquated and requires a new lens from which to it application from multifarious perspectives. Ethics fundamentally may be lost in an attempt to guide groups where cognitive acuity is channeled in the group process itself. Conflicts arise that challenge adhering to ethical principles. So, any current resources (2000 and later) would be greatly appreciated.

The research ethics governance principle that requires members of a workgroup to be informed they are able to opt out from participating in their group's activities when a research intervention is taking place there conflicts with the fundamental of group dynamics that any change in the membership of a group creates a new and different group. So you can't research the effectiveness of a workgroup climate-shaping intervention because the members of the workgroup can absent themselves from participating in the workgroup - even though the employer wants them to participate in their workgroup's climate-shaping activity. My paper (attached; submitted for publication but not yet accepted) provides references to articles that align with our concern that its time for research ethics to be up-dated and revised to avoid such blockers to essential research. (I'd agree with the article that states that the existing, antiquated research ethics paradigm is "strangling" certain types of research.)
