“…In turn, this leads to lower moral reasoning scores for women who use a communal framework rather than the individualistic framework of justice underlying the Kohlbergian model. On the other hand, Crow, Fok, Hartman, and Payne (1991) found that women reasoned at higher levels than men in their study using the DIT. This research, then, suggests not only that women and men differ in moral reasoning but also that their reasoning processes may be different based on socialization characteristics rather than exclusively biological differences.…”

Mixed results regarding the role of gender in moral reasoning prompted an investigation of an alternative characteristic that may be more influential in the process: sex role orientation. We present an empirical assessment of the relationship between an individual's moral reasoning level and his/her sex role orientation, gender, and several academic factors. Our results indicate that sex role orientation is not related to moral reasoning level. Gender is related to moral reasoning in our study, women reasoning at higher levels than men. We found a positive relationship between education and moral reasoning level, and moral reasoning levels differed across academic institutions. Our results also show business students have lower moral reasoning levels than students in other fields, although this result did not reach statistical significance.

“…While some empirical studies found that female are more ethical (Arlow, 1991;Crow et al, 1991;Deshpande, 1997), others found little or no significant differences (Derry, 1987(Derry, , 1989Kidwell et al, 1987;Trevino, 1992). In particular, Terpstra et al (1993) thought that the difference in likelihood to engage in unethical trading behaviors by males and females were due to conditioned behaviors and different sex roles, while Derry (1987Derry ( , 1989 suggested that gender differences found in other studies may be ''contextual specific.''…”

“…Some studies report that women, compared to men, are more cautious and more concerned about ethical issues in general and business ethics in particular. Among the studies that reported that women exhibit higher moral development are these: Arlow (1991), Ameen et al (1996), Beltramini et al (1984), Coate and Frey (2000), Cohen et al (1998), Cole and Smith (1996), Crow et al (1991), Galbraith and Stephenson (1993), Harris and Sutton (1995), Jones and Gautschi II (1988), Kidwell et al (1987), Larkin (2000) McCabe et al (1991), Miesing and Preble (1985), Peterson et al (1991), Poorsolton et al (1991), Ruegger and King (1992).…”

The Influence of Nationality and Gender on Ethical Sensitivity: An Application of the Issue-Contingent Model

et al. 2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

ABSTRACT. When a member of an organization has to make a decision or act in a way that may benefit some stakeholders at the expense of others, ethical dilemmas may arise. This paper examines ethical sensitivity regarding the duties to clients and owners (principals), employees (agents), and responsibilities to society (third parties). Within this framework, ethical perceptions of male and female managers are compared between the U.S. and Turkey -two countries that differ on power distance as well as the individualism/collectivism dimensions. Our results show that ethical sensitivity varies depending upon whether the interests of principals, agents, or third parties are affected by a given ethical dilemma. We also find that, contingent upon the principal-agent-society relationships, the nationality and gender of the decision-maker influences ethical sensitivity.
