“…Locus of control influences and/or relates to student ethical behavior. Riyana et al, (2021), Kristianti & Kristiana (2020), Husser et al (2017), Yovita & Rahmawaty (2016), Raharjo (2013), Owrangi, Yousliani, &Zarnaghash (2011), andFebrianty (2010) found that locus of control has a significant effect on ethical behavior. The stronger the locus of control, the more ethical the attitudes and behavior of students will be.…”

The objective of the research was to examine the effect of locus of control and self-esteem on students' ethical behavior. The research sample consists of 480 students of the Faculty of Teaching and Education, Universitas Halu Oleo Indonesia during academic-year 2022. Data was collected using five-choice Likert scale model questionnaires, ethical behavior scale rα= 0.81, locus of control scale rα=0.86, and self-esteem scale rα =0.86. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Analysis of Moment Structures (AMOS) software. The results showed that there was a significant positive effect of locus of control and self-esteem on students' ethical behavior either partially or simultaneously. This means, the better the students' locus of control and self-esteem, the better their ethical behavior will be.

“…Specific to this study, research supports a positive correlation between internal locus of control and ethical decision-making. Individuals with an internal locus of control were more often able to recognize ethical issues (Chan and Leung, 2006; Husser et al , 2019), and it also positively impacted ethical perception (Ho, 2010). Locus of control did not have a significant impact on moral reasoning (Forte, 2004), but those with an external locus of control were more likely to select an unethical option than those with an internal (Street and Street, 2006).…”

“…Locus of control did not have a significant impact on moral reasoning (Forte, 2004), but those with an external locus of control were more likely to select an unethical option than those with an internal (Street and Street, 2006). Those with an internal locus of control express a more severe ethical judgment of an unethical behavior (Cherry and Fraedrich, 2000), which impacts an individual’s intention to act ethically (Husser et al , 2019) and their ethical judgment in general (Muthulingam and Kumara, 2018).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore the common ethical decision-making challenges faced by financial advisers and how they meet these challenges. The purpose is to identify successful decision-making tools used by investment advisers in doing business ethically. Additionally, the authors uncover common challenges and offer decision-making tools to provide support for supplemental ethics training in the future. Design/methodology/approach Questions were analyzed through a qualitative approach using individual interviews to examine a range of experiences and attitudes of active financial advisers. The sample was represented by 11 practicing financial advisers affiliated with US independent broker-dealers: six women and five men, each with 10 or more years of experience, ranging in age from 35 to 75. Grounded in four ethical decision-making models, this research examines individual ethical decision-making using individual (internal, personal) and organizational (external, situational) factors. Findings The method used uncovered struggles and revealed strategies used in making ethical decisions. Two research questions were examined: what are the common ethical decision-making challenges faced by financial advisers in the US financial industry? How do financial advisers handle ethical decision-making challenges? Four themes emerged that impacted ethical decision-making: needs of the individual, needs of others, needs of the firm and needs of the marketplace. Financial advisers identified moral obligation, self-control and consulting with others as major considerations when they contemplate difficult decisions. Research limitations/implications A limitation of this review is its small sample size. A more robust sample size from investment advisers with a broader range of experiences could have widened the findings from the study. Practical implications Investment advisers can use the findings of this study as a tool for improving their own ethical decision-making or designing training for their employees to be better decision-makers. Originality/value The study explores the decision-making experiences of investment advisers to reveal multifaceted, often private struggles that qualitative methods can uncover. The study provides support for the development of additional training in ethical decision-making specific to investment advisers.

“…The extent to which people react to a moral issue has been argued to depend on its moral intensity, among other things ( Barnett, 2001 ; Jones, 1991 ; Morris & McDonald, 1995 ; Schlaile, Klein, & Böck, 2018 ). Moral intensity is a multidimensional issue-related construct ( Jones, 1991 ) frequently taken up in the literature on ethical decision making (e.g., Husser, Andre, & Lespinet-Najib, 2019 ; Marshall & Dewe, 1997 ; Moores, Smith, & Limayem, 2018 ; Paolillo & Vitell, 2002 ; Schlaile, Klein, & Böck, 2018 ; T. R. Shaw, 2003 ). The theory of moral intensity is based in part on arguments from moral philosophy, yet Jones (1991) introduces concepts that are non-existent in prior approaches.…”
