“…H1 argues that JS-EB relationship is significant and positive, and the PLS-SEM result (β = 0.296, p = 0.000) confirmed that this argument holds true. Thus, H1 was supported, which agrees with the position of past studies (Resende & Porto, 2020;Zhang, 2020) that JS as an individual characteristic or factor has a strong predictive value on ethical choices or decisions of organisational members. As such, high levels of JS enables employees to display exemplary EB at work.…”

“…The predictive effect of JS on the ethicality of organisational members was evidenced in an empirical study conducted by Zhang (2020) on workplace spirituality, JS and unethical pro-organisational behaviour. Besides, Resende and Porto (2020) state that unethical work decisions are influenced by individual characteristics such as motivation and JS. Based on this, the study developed the first hypothesis.…”

Ethical behaviour ensures employees follow organisational social norms in the conduct of their tasks and assignments. But studies have been somewhat silent on the individual-level factors influencing this positive work behaviour, especially in an African public sector context. Further, the contextual factors impacting ethical behaviour at work are yet to be fully known. Therefore, the study examined the relationship between quality of work life and work motivation on ethical behaviour given job satisfaction as a contextual factor. The study collected data from 191 mid-level employees in the Delta State Ministry of Health in Nigeria, and subjected same data to the PLS-SEM analytical procedure. The results demonstrated that job satisfaction and ethical behaviour are positively related, job satisfaction mediates quality of work life and work motivation relationship with ethical behaviour, and quality of work life relationship with ethical behaviour is mediated by work motivation and job satisfaction sequentially. The study concluded that the link between quality of work life and work motivation on ethical behaviour can be explained by the mediational mechanism of job satisfaction. The results imply that public organisations can support ethical behaviour when certain individual-level (psychological) factors are well positioned and managed to achieve desirable outcomes.

“…It is proven that employees' ethical beliefs influence their decision-making process. Many studies in the existing literature propounded the role of individual characteristics (Deckers et al, 2021;Haines and Leonard, 2007;Khalid et al, 2012), moral identity (Arrami and QingXiang, 2021;Huhtala et al, 2021;Resende and Porto, 2020;Wang et al, 2021), cognitive moral development (Elm, 2019;Wittmer, 2019), moral affect (Arkin and Borenstein, 2019;Martinez and Jaeger, 2016;Zollo et al, 2017), beliefs, attitude (Elbe and Brand, 2016;Kanjanapathy and Ramakrishnan, 2018;Zardeckaite-Matulaitiene et al, 2014), etc., in influencing the decision-making process (Moore et al, 2012;Moore, 2005). However, another stream of literature illustrates that individuallevel factors cannot fully explain an individual's decision-making in an organisational context.…”

PurposeThe present study aims to examine the relationship between techno-ethical orientation and ethical decision-making (EDM) in Indian supply chain companies during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also aims to explore the moderating role of technological frames (TF) in the relationship between techno-ethical orientation and EDM.Design/methodology/approachThe relationship between techno-ethical orientation and EDM is examined using correlation and regression analysis. The moderating effect of five dimensions of TFs (personal attitude, application value, organisational influence, supervisor influence and industry influence) is analysed using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe correlation coefficient between techno-ethical orientation and EDM is 0.513. Also, the regression coefficient (β = 0.213) is significant at 0.05, establishing a positive linkage between the two. R-square values showed a 45.2% variation in EDM is explained by techno-ethical orientation. Similarly, all variables of TFs have a positive and significant moderating effect on the relationship between techno-ethical orientation and EDM.Originality/valueThis is one of the pioneer studies exploring techno-ethical orientation’s impact on EDM in supply chain companies.

“…Moreover, it is not difficult to find Brazilians that consider themselves 'smart' after taking advantage of others. The dishonest aspects of Brazilian jeitinho might constitute a cultural obstacle to the development of industriousness, honesty, respect, and self-control (i.e., components of the conscientiousness factor) because it might be easier to think that success can come through corruption than through hardworking behaviors (Resende & Porto, 2020 ). Evidence, in fact, indicates a negative relationship between Brazilian jeitinho and conscientiousness (Ferreira et al, 2012 ).…”

Providing a valid and reliable measure of conscientiousness constitutes a worthwhile endeavor to allow research and intervention in Brazil. This study aimed to adapt the Chernyshenko Conscientiousness Scales (CCS) into Brazilian Portuguese, evaluate their psychometric properties, and investigate the relationship between conscientiousness and academic involvement, taking into account the possible confound effect of subjective well-being (SWB). Two samples were studied to cross-validate the CCS's internal structure. Participants were university students (N1 = 332, N2 = 684) who answered the CCS and measures of SWB and academic involvement. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the CCS presented a five-factor solution corresponding to the previously replicated facets of industriousness, orderliness, self-control, traditionalism, and virtue. Most facets related positively to life satisfaction, positive affect, and involvement in academic activities, and negatively to negative affect. A structural model indicated strong associations of conscientiousness with SWB and academic engagement, suggesting more conscious students are happier and engage more in academic tasks. These results support the use of the CCS in Brazil. Trial registration number and date of registration 32732820.6.0000.5334, July 8th, 2020.
