“…As mentioned, some research conclusions perhaps seem trivial, but a more definite assertion on the matter awaits a more comprehensive review. We examined research findings based on empirical studies into ethical judgments that cited Robin (1988, 1990;Reidenbach et al, 1991;also Dabholkar and Kellaris, 1992) and that used multiple items, primarily derived from the MES, to assess these. We identified these studies with the assistance of the SSCI (as well as with Google Scholar, and searches of the citations listed in identified papers).…”

“…On the other hand, structural theory suggests that the occupational environment and the rewards and costs structure within the workplace will overcome the impact of gender differences caused by early socialization (Betz et al 1989). Thus, women and men will respond equally to ethical issues in the workplace (Reidenbach et al 1991). In their reviews, Ford and Richardson (1994), Loe et al (2000), O'Fallon and Butterfield (2005) and Craft (2013) 1 report more than one hundred results and conclude that gender often tends to produce no significant results, but when differences are found, women are more sensitive to ethical issues than men (e.g.…”

The Role of Individual Variables, Organizational Variables and Moral Intensity Dimensions in Libyan Management Accountants’ Ethical Decision Making

This study investigates the association of a broad set of variables with the ethical decision making of management accountants in Libya. Adopting a cross-sectional methodology, a questionnaire including four different ethical scenarios was used to gather data from 229 participants. For each scenario, ethical decision making was examined in terms of the recognition, judgment and intention stages of Rest's model. A significant relationship was found between ethical recognition and ethical judgment and also between ethical judgment and ethical intention, but ethical recognition did not significantly predict ethical intention-thus providing support for Rest's model. Organizational variables, age and educational level yielded few significant results. The lack of significance for codes of ethics might reflect their relative lack of development in Libya, in which case Libyan companies should pay attention to their content and how they are supported, especially in the light of the under-development of the accounting profession in Libya. Few significant results were also found for gender, but where they were found, males showed more ethical characteristics than females. This unusual result reinforces the dangers of gender stereotyping in business. Personal moral philosophy and moral intensity dimensions were generally found to be significant predictors of the three stages of ethical decision making studied. One implication of this is to give more attention to ethics in accounting education, making the connections between accounting practice and (in Libya) Islam. Overall, this study not only adds to the available empirical evidence on factors affecting ethical decision making, notably examining three stages of Rest's model, but also offers rare insights into the ethical views of practising management accountants and provides a benchmark for future studies of ethical decision making in Muslim majority countries and other parts of the developing world.

“…The third vignette is about misleading a car appraiser; the last one is about withholding important information in the ads. These vignettes are taken from Reidenbach, Robin and Dawson (1991). Ethical problem perception is measured by a single question asking the level of agreement with the following statement: "I think that there is an ethical issue in this story".…”
