“…The review of literature encourages the need to investigate ethics and the variables that influence an individual's ethical decisions (Fraedrich, 1993 This quantitative research focused on the ethical decision-making of working professional accountants in regard to the relationships among the stated variables. The body of research supported the need for a study that focused on gaining an understanding about the variables and accountants' ethical decision-making given the stated variables and their relationship (Vittell, 2009;Wilson, 2008).…”

“…A commonly encountered difficulty in determining which acts are (un)ethical is whose perception defines what is morally acceptable (Baker et al 2006;Fraedrich 1993). In this research, the perception of the entrepreneur, VC and/or angel investor is used to define unethical behavior.…”

This paper examines the impact of perceived unethical behavior by entrepreneurs, angel investors and venture capitalists on their conflict process. For this purpose, we use an embedded case study design to provide a diversity of perspectives on the topic at hand. From the eye of the beholder, i.e. investor, entrepreneur or both, 11 conflict situations were analyzed for any perceived unethical behavior. Based on findings from within-and cross-case analysis, we propose that perceived unethical behavior among venture partners triggers conflicts between them through increased fault attribution or blaming. Further, we propose that perceived unethical behavior affects venture partners' choice of conflict management strategy and increases the likelihood of conflict escalation and of conflict having a negative partnership outcome such as failure or another form of involuntary exit. As such, this paper contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by addressing calls for more research on the darker sides of investor-investee relationships.

Reference [41] refers that "speaking about ethics is, thus, speaking about the reflective determination of the good human action conditions, the place where rests the purpose of the act" (p. 129).…”

In the second part, it is intended to capture the ethical behavior level of each respondent, using the adapted 6 items scale by Reference [40] of the original scale to measure individual ethical behavior developed by Reference [46]. The third part seeks to measure the POE of each respondent.…”
