“…These findings perhaps suggest that workplace demand or pressures may override personal characteristics or values once an individual enters the professional environment. Nonetheless, the non-significance of age in influencing ethical judgements contradicts Hopkins and Deepa (2018) who reported a significant positive relationship between age and ethical judgement. The mixed findings documented in prior studies suggest that more research needs to be carried out to gain further insights and understanding of factors influencing ethical judgements.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which demographic factors and corporate ethical value impact on ethical decisions of Malaysian accounting practitioners.Design/methodology/approachA questionnaire survey was carried out to elicit opinions from accounting practitioners on corporate ethical values and ethical judgements. Regression analysis was performed on 201 completed and useable questionnaires.FindingsThe regression analysis shows that corporate ethical value is a significant factor determining ethical judgements. Age is also a significant factor, with older accounting practitioners being stricter in their ethical stance. To a lesser extent, gender is also significant, with females exhibiting higher ethical judgements than males.Research limitations/implicationsThe regression model reports an adjusted R-squared of 19.2%, which suggests further work in this area is necessary to identify other determinants for (un)ethical judgements. A qualitative approach such as interviewing corporate players may shed light on other possible factors.Practical implicationsThe findings suggest that regulatory efforts have contributed towards a more ethically imbued corporate environment. The Malaysian Code on Corporate Governance (2012), which recommends corporations to have formalized ethical standards and women on corporate boards, appears to have positive influence on creating a more ethical working climate. In addition, the enactment of the Minimum Retirement Age Act (2012) also proves relevant in further promoting ethical judgements.Originality/valueThe study highlights the applicability of the theory of moral development to an Asian developing country, and that gender, age and corporate ethical values are complementary in influencing ethical judgements of accounting practitioners in Malaysia.

“…The enhancement of curriculum with EI training will yield medical professionals who also display empathy, great character, integrity, maturity, and effective communication. Emotional intelligence is said to have an impact on ethical judgment [60]. Ethics is an important aspect of the medical profession and hence EI training will help professionals to make ethical decisions.…”

Aims: Emotional intelligence is an important ability that has to be fostered among medical professionals. To foster an ability, it has to be assessed. The tests/tools already available are culture-sensitive and context-sensitive. Hence there is a need to develop a test to assess the emotional intelligence abilities of medical students. This paper describes a multiphase study in which an instrument was developed to assess the emotional intelligence of medical students. Study Design: The study was done in four phases. The first three phases were to develop the instrument and establish its reliability and validity. The fourth phase was to demonstrate the predictive validity of the developed instrument. Place and Duration of Study: A private teaching hospital in South India; Two years. Methodology: In the first phase, the emotional challenges of medical students (n =55) were understood to develop the situations for the situational judgment tests. In the second phase, the instrument was developed with 38 items contributing to the constructs of EI. In the third phase, a pilot study was conducted, in which the developed tool was administered on a sample of 150 medical students. The data was used to verify the content validity, construct validity, internal consistency reliability (0.8), and predictive validity. In the fourth phase (n = 102) the test-retest reliability (with a ten-month interval between the tests) and the predictive validity (established by studying the association between EI measured with the tool and the academic performance of respondents) of the purified instrument were studied. Results: A tool to assess the EI of medical students was developed. The tool demonstrated test-retest reliability (0.6) and predictive validity (r = 0.29; P < .01). Conclusion: The tool would provide a premise for the development of training programs and their inclusion in the medical curriculum, which in turn would yield medical professionals who can deliver enhanced patient care. The study also showed the impact of EI on the academic achievement of medical students and hence their knowledge and skills will also be improved by including EI in their curriculum.

“…Internal consistency reliability in Hills and Argyle's (2002) study yielded a reliability of .80. The validity in the study is also considered adequate for the OHQ (Hills & Argyle, 2002). The reliability of the instrument in this study was estimated at .91, indicating strong internal consistency for the study.…”

“…The EPQ used in this study had a Cronbach alpha of .83, which demonstrates good internal consistency. The Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) (Hills & Argyle, 2002) is a measure of happiness consisting of 29 questions. Internal consistency reliability in Hills and Argyle's (2002) study yielded a reliability of .80.…”
