“…When management makes appointments based on political favouritism in the public sector (Kapucu and Palabıyık, 2008), it is nepotism/favouritism, which is common in developing countries (Kapucu and Palabıyık, 2008). Loyalty is based on group, family, religion, caste, linguistic community and class in Southeast Asian societies (Kis-Katos and Schulze, 2013). The major religions in Asian countries are Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Christianity.…”

Purpose Many scholars of business ethics have emphasised for new research theories and methods that make a substantial contribution to improving business ethical practices and standards globally. This study aims to explore the impact of workplace spirituality and its four dimensions-meaningful at work, transcendence, mindfulness and compassion over the nepotism-favouritism in ASEAN Region. This study also contributes to literature by investigating role of gender over the association of workplace spirituality, and its dimensions with nepotism-favouritism. Design/methodology/approach Data was collected through self-administered questionnaires from employees of the service sector working in Singapore, Malaysia and Myanmar. SPSS and SmartPLS software were used for data analysis. Findings The findings of this study suggest that there is significant negative impact of workplace spirituality on the nepotism-favouritism. Four dimensions-meaningful at work, transcendence, mindfulness and compassion has significantly negative influence on nepotism/favouritism. With change of gender, impact of workplace spirituality and its three dimensions-meaningful at work, compassion and transcendence exhibit varying influence on the nepotism-favouritism, which indicates presence of moderating effect. This study concludes with no moderating impact of gender over the association of mindfulness and nepotism-favouritism. Originality/value This study presents empirical evidence from ASEAN region, which is useful for practitioners to abolish corruption in the context of nepotism-favouritism.

“…), o fenômeno também é percebido no âmbito empresarial, o que permite que não haja consenso acerca da amplitude do conceito ou a magnitude dos seus efeitos. Daí porque, entende-se que a forma como é percebida depende muitas vezes do país onde se prolifera (Kis-Katos & Schulze, 2013), ou seja, o que é corrupção para um país nem sempre é para outro.…”

Objetivo: A corrupção é um fenômeno mundial que atinge, indistintamente, pobres e ricos. Como fenômeno multidisciplinar, compreender o problema tornou-se um aspecto complexo dado à diversidade de conceitos que abarca e a forma como se apresenta nos países. Neste sentido, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar aspectos significativos do perfil social que influenciam a percepção da corrupção por parte dos alunos de Ciências Contábeis da Universidade Federal do Ceará. Metodologia: A pesquisa se caracteriza como descritiva quanto aos objetivos, de levantamento quanto aos procedimentos e quantitativa quanto à natureza. Utilizou-se questionário com escala do tipo Likert, preenchido de forma anônima, formado por 4 grupos de perguntas, nos quais se alocou 20 questões associadas ao tema corrupção (compreensão, impacto profissional, estrutura atual do curso de ciências contábeis e mecanismos institucionais para o seu combate). A análise dos resultados se deu por intermédio da estatística descritiva. Resultados: Foram considerados posicionamentos intermediários que não revelam a total negação ou confirmação das perguntas apresentadas, o que evidencia que parte das opiniões ainda se encontra em construção. A exceção se deve ao nível de compreensão do fenômeno que foi considerado satisfatório pelos pesquisadores. No que se refere às respostas intermediárias, os resultados apontam para a necessidade de múltiplas soluções em relação ao fenômeno estudado: aprimoramento do tratamento do tema por parte do curso como um todo, melhora da compreensão da amplitude da corrupção como fenômeno que atinge também empresas e organizações sociais e afastamento do entendimento dos alunos de que o curso deve prover conhecimento acerca do modus operandi dos atos corruptos. Contribuições do Estudo: O estudo contribui para que novas formas de abordagem da corrupção sejam desenvolvidas para o ambiente acadêmico, notadamente do Curso de Ciências Contábeis, visando aumentar a percepção sobre o tema.

“…), the phenomenon is also noticed in the business sphere, which results in a lack of common ground regarding the breadth of the concept or the extent of its effects. Thus, it is understood that the way corruption is perceived depends, most of the times, on the country in which it thrives (Kis-Katos & Schulze, 2013), that is to say, what is considered corruption in one country is not necessarily corruption in another.…”

Purpose: Corruption is a worldwide phenomenon that affects, indistinctly, both the poor and the rich. As a multidisciplinary phenomenon, understanding the problem has become a complex issue given the diversity of concepts it encompasses and how it presents itself in countries. In this sense, the present work aims to analyze significant aspects of the social profile that influence the perception of corruption by Accounting students at the Federal University of Ceará. Methodology: The research is descriptive regarding its objectives, quantitative as to its nature and uses a survey as its procedures. A Likert scale questionnaire was used, anonymously filled, composed by four groups of questions, in which 20 questions related to corruption (comprehension, professional impact, current structure of the Accounting program and institutional mechanisms for its combat). The analysis of the results was done through descriptive statistics. Results: Intermediate positions that do not reveal the total denial or confirmation of the questions presented were considered, which shows that most of the opinions are still under construction. The exception is due to the level of understanding of the phenomenon, which was deemed satisfactory by the researchers. Regarding the intermediate answers, the results point to the need of multiple solutions for the studied phenomenon: improve the way the entire program treats the theme, enhance the understanding of the extent of corruption as a phenomenon that also affects companies and social organizations, and withdraw of the students' understanding that the program should provide knowledge about the modus operandi of corrupt acts. Contributions of the Study: The study contributes to the development of new ways of approaching corruption in the academic environment, notably the Accounting Program, in order to raise awareness about the subject.
