“…Deering (1998), in a comparison of British and American pre-service teachers, found higher levels of idealism and relativism among the British. Americans scored lower on the EPQ scales when compared to residents of Australia (Singhapakdi et al, 2001), Thailand (Singhapakdi et al, 1994), Malaysia (Axinn et al, 2004), and Spain . Davis et al (1998) found a predominance of nonrelativists (absolutists and exceptionists) among the Americans they studied, but a higher percentage of the participants from Indonesia were subjectivists.…”

ABSTRACT. Ethics position theory (EPT) maintains that individuals' personal moral philosophies influence their judgments, actions, and emotions in ethically intense situations. The theory, when describing these moral viewpoints, stresses two dimensions: idealism (concern for benign outcomes) and relativism (skepticism with regards to inviolate moral principles). Variations in idealism and relativism across countries were examined via a meta-analysis of studies that assessed these two aspects of moral thought using the ethics position questionnaire (EPQ; Forsyth, Journal of Personality and Social Psychology 39, 175-184, 1980). This review identified 139 samples drawn from 29 different countries, for a total sample of 30,230 respondents, and concluded that (a) levels of idealism and relativism vary across regions of the world in predictable ways; (b) an exceptionist ethic is more common in Western countries, subjectivism and situationism in Eastern countries, and absolutism and situationism in Middle Eastern countries; and (c) a nation's ethics position predicted that country's location on previously documented cultural dimensions, such as individualism and avoidance of uncertainty (Hofstede, Culture's Consequences: International Differences in WorkRelated Values, 1980). Limitations in these methods and concerns about the validity of these cross-cultural conclusions are noted, as are suggestions for further research using the EPQ.

“…Countless investigations have demonstrated how one's national culture holds sway over numerous aspects, among others, it is worth noting: the decision-making process (Singhapakdi, Vitell, & Leelakulthanit, 1994;Swaidan & Hayes, 2005); sensitivity to ethical problems (Swaidan & Hayes, 2005); trade (Heide, 1994); consumer behaviour (Dawar, Parker, & Price, 1996;De Mooij & Hofstede, 2002); development of compensation and incentive strategies (Welbourne & Gómez-Mejía, 1991); human resource practices (Aycan, Kanungo, Mendonca, Yu, Deller, Stahl, & Kurshid, 2000). Likewise, from within this body of research, it is incumbent to acknowledge those authors who have uncovered a significant relationship between the perceived image of the destination and the potential tourist's country of origin, namely: Ahmed (1991); Beerli and Martín (2004a;2004b) ;Calantone, Di Benedetto, Hakam, and Bojanic (1989); Chen and Kerstetter (1999).…”

The present work aims to explain more deeply the theory of the image of tourist destination and its process of formation, specifically regarding the factors that influence the above-mentioned process. For this purpose, the knowledge of two fields of study, the image of the tourist destination and the corporate image, is combined in order to analyse their possible interdependent relationship. To explore the possible relations between both elements, a theoretical model has been developed and confirmed using a survey carried out on a sample of 307 Korean citizens.The results reveal that the degree of familiarity of the Spanish companies in South Korea can be considered to be a more influential factor in the image of Spain as a tourist destination. This fact might have important economic implications, since tourism is turning into a key driver of socio-economic progress.

“…Respondents expressed their level of agreement with a five point Likert type scale where 1= Strongly Disagree and 5= Strongly Agree. It is common to measure these variables with single questions (Singhapakdi and Vitell, 1992;Singhapakdi et al, 1994;Singhapakdi et al, 2000a;Singhapakdi et al, 2000b).…”
