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.

“…However, the only handful of studies focused on researcher to further appreciate their moral decision in doing research. Notwithstanding, little is known about the underlying ethical decision stimulus 11,12 of millennial researcher in Malaysia due to the complexity of the multifaceted normative-descriptiveprescriptive factors in ethical philosophicalpsychological context. Thus, the research gap is fragmented and needs for further consideration to incorporate these factors into the millennial ethical decision making model.…”

The generational factors are fundamentally imperative in light of the fact that millennial is more ambitious, confident, independent, and achievement-oriented thus, made generational contrasts in ethical preferences as a scrupulous moral agent in maximizing the outcome 13 that aligns with their ethical confidence 12 . Empirical findings in the previous studies have discovered that the millennial attributes are to be less ethical reasoning tolerant [12][13][14] .…”

Little is known on the psychoanalytic approach underlies ethical decision impetus of millennial researchers in Malaysia, let alone an integrated model of ethical decision making due to dearth of empirical support to further understand their ethical wisdom and sensible conduct in research. The millennials are those aged between 32 and below, and making up over 40 percent of the Malaysian population. Due to generational characteristics, millennial researchers are believed to have less ethical tolerance. The undervaluation of ethical dimensions has caused practical disability of researchers to describe social activities accurately, and to employ adequate justification of social hope and moral justification. Accordingly, this study is important to synthesis the underlying factors of ethical decision making for millennial researchers. This paper focuses on the triangulation of moral development theory, theory of reasoned action, and psychoanalytic theory to support the third thrust of National Higher Education Strategic Plan wherein to enhance research and innovation. The model will address the gap between theory, practice, and process that allows for the construction of complementary perspectives on ethical decision making in interdisciplinary research. Thus, it enriches the understanding to adequately explain social reality. This approach helps to generate a more complete knowledge about the contemporary issues in research.

Generational factor is significantly important because Millennials are more ambitious, confident, independent, and achievement-oriented and thus, created generational differences in ethical choice as a conscientious moral agent and how to act to maximize outcome. Due to these characteristics, the Millennials are found to be less ethical reasoning tolerant. Accordingly, this proposed study is to synthesize the underlying factors of ethical decision making in millennial researchers. With interest in understanding the ethical framework used by millennial researcher, this research will explore into the characteristics of the millennial and focus on the integration of moral development and theory of reasoned action to support the third thrust of National Higher Education Strategic Plan (NHESP) wherein to enhance research and innovation.
