“…A review of extant business ethics research by the authors of this project uncovered well over 200 published articles that investigated the role of accounting, finance, marketing, human resources management, or other functions within a business organization as an explanatory factor of ethical or unethical behavior. Yet, nearly all of these reported investigations focus on a single job function and the professional managers within these disciplines, such as accounting (Arnold et al, 2005;Brown et al, 2007;Cohen et al, 2001), finance and insurance (Cupach and Carson, 2002), marketing (Armstrong and Sweeney, 1994;Bone and Corey, 2000), information technology (Fimbel and Burstein, 1990;Oz, 2001), supply chain/purchasing (Landeros and Plank, 1996) and human resource management (Foote and Robinson, 1999). While this represents an important body of work, ethical breaches are often found to cut across job functions or work roles within an organization and involve multiple disciplines embedded in a business organization.…”
