“…Robertson and Ross (2003), for example, found that females are more sensitive to CSR activities than males, while Dalton and Ortegren's (2011) study suggests that the greater value attached to CSR by females is the result of response bias and the attempt at social desirability. Given the potential significance of gender in relation to CSR, we tested for familiarity as indicated by responses to the first question and gender (Table 2).…”

Many existing studies postulate that in developing economies philanthropy tends to dominate in the CSR orientation delivered by organizations and expected by local populations. To assess this in the emerging economy of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates, we conducted a preliminary investigation of how locals are responding to the growing number of CSR initiatives that are being implemented in the Emirate. Moreover, given that scholars have argued that Islamic principles of philanthropy should guide CSR initiatives in Muslim countries, we also consider if our Emirati respondents connect CSR with Islamic philanthropy. Results from our survey of 267 local Muslim consumers in Dubai indicate that CSR is not typically equated with philanthropy. In addition, respondents displayed an appreciation of the economic benefits that CSR can generate. The implication is that organizations in Dubai no longer need to base their CSR on the platform of Islamic philanthropy as many scholars have argued. Our findings are significant for the wider Gulf region in that they suggest that in wealthy emerging nations, CSR may not be predominantly interpreted as the corporate philanthropy which is needed in poorer developing economies for the provision of infrastructure, schools, hospitals, and housing, and which in some Muslim contexts is also implemented because of local religious values.

“…Gender is one of the most frequently studied variables within the ethics literature and a large number of studies find that females are more ethical than males (Dalton and Ortegren, 2011;O'Fallon and Butterfield, 2005). Females make more ethical judgements (Cole and Smith, 1996;Dawson, 1997;Deshpande et al, 2000).…”

“…Sosialisasi awal dipengaruhi oleh imbalan dan biaya yang berhubungan dengan peran-peran dalam pekerjaan. Karena sifat dan pekerjaan yang sedang dijalani membentuk perilaku melalui struktur imbalan, pria dan wanita akan merespon isu-isu etika secara sama dalam lingkungan pekerjaan yang sama (Dalton & Ortegren, 2011). Dengan demikian, pendekatan struktural memprediksi bahwa pria dan wanita dalam pekerjaan yang sudah ada atau dalam pelatihan untuk pekerjaanpekerjaan khusus akan menunjukkan prioritas yang sama.…”

Internal factors play an important role in decision making, especially under conditions of a dilemma. Therefore, we examined the internal factors of individuals consisting of gender, age, and level of education in the deliberations and decision-making when faced with ethical dilemmas. This study used a survey by Aluchna & Mikolajczyk (2013) and Eweje & Brunon (2010) to collect data. 106 students who were respondents in this study were divided into 87 undergraduate students and 19 postgraduate students. Hypothesis testing used was nonparametric chi-square test to see the differences in the perception of respondents. As a result, women were more often indicate or face the ethical dilemma rather than in men. Age did not affect the attitude when it was faced with moral dilemmas for the development of the higher age of respondents, where it is not necessarily better than the moral development of the respondents with a younger age. There was no different in perception between age and level of education to ethical dilemmas. Practical contribution of this research was taken into consideration by the personnel manager when recruiting human resources and become knowledgeable in instilling ethics education from an early age, so that the moral development of the individual can arrive at the highest stage.
