“…Spirituality therefore becomes an internal moral compass to guide an individual's behavior. The finding is therefore consistent with number of studies which suggest that higher level of spirituality leads to better moral reasoning (Baumsteiger et al, 2013;Morton et al, 2006;Tepe et al, 2016), moral concern (Jack et al, 2016a;2016b), and moral emotion (Hardy et al, 2014).…”

“…Oleh karena itu, spiritualitas menjadi kompas moral internal untuk menuntun perilaku individu. Temuan ini konsisten dengan sejumlah penelitian yang menyatakan bahwa tingkat spiritualitas yang tinggi cenderung menuntun individu pada pertimbangan moral yang lebih baik (Baumsteiger et al, 2013;Morton et al, 2006;Tepe et al, 2016), keprihatinan moral (Jack et al, 2016a;2016b), dan emosi moral (Hardy et al, 2014).…”

Cheating behavior in a school setting has become a major problem in many countries, including those with a dominantly religious population (e.g., Indonesia). This creates a paradox since previous literatures suggest eminent role of spirituality in constructing morality. This study is intended to investigate the interplay between spirituality and cheating behavior in religious high school students in Yogyakarta using multi-methods approach. Self-report questionnaires to measure the perception toward cheating, spirituality level, and locus of control were distributed to a total of 691 participants using random sampling method. Participants were also given an open-ended questionnaire asking the rationale behind their past cheating behavior. The findings suggested that the role of spirituality in ethical behavior was rather contextual, such as the link between spirituality and awareness of cheating was more robust in the respondents from religious schools. It was found that the participants viewed spirituality as an internal moral compass which may in turn facilitate overt ethical behavior. Perilaku kecurangan di sekolah telah menjadi permasalahan besar di berbagai negara, termasuk di negara-negara yang mayoritas penduduknya religius (misalnya di Indonesia). Hal ini menimbulkan sebuah paradoks mengingat penelitian terdahulu menyatakan bahwa spiritualitas berperan dalam proses pembentukan moralitas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah interaksi antara spiritualitas dan perilaku kecurangan pada siswa sekolah menengah di Yogyakarta menggunakan pendekatan multi-metode. Kuesioner laporan diri untuk mengukur persepsi terhadap kecurangan, tingkat spiritualitas, dan lokus kendali dibagikan kepada total 691 partisipan menggunakan metode random sampling. Partisipan juga diberikan kuesioner dengan butir-butir pertanyaan terbuka yang menanyakan alasan di balik perilaku curang mereka di masa lampau. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa peran spiritualitas dalam perilaku etis cenderung bersifat kontekstual, misalnya hubungan antara spiritualitas dan kesadaran akan perilaku kecurangan lebih kuat pada responden dari sekolah berbasis agama. Ditemukan bahwa partisipan dalam kajian ini memandang spiritualitas sebagai kompas moral internal yang dapat berperan dalam memfasilitasi perilaku etis yang terbuka.

“…Religion has considerable influence on people's value, habits, attitudes, behavior and lifestyle (Delener, 1994;Friedman, 2001;Pekerti and Arli, 2015;Vitell et al, 2006). Studies have found clear links between religion, moral ideologies and ethics (Arli and Tjiptono, 2014;Baumsteiger et al, 2013;Parboteeah et al, 2008;Weaver and Agle, 2002;Vitell et al, 2015). Nonetheless, there is a continuous debate whether ethics should be separated from religion.…”

Purpose In the debate whether ethics should be separated from religion or otherwise, few have investigated the impact of religious beliefs and ethical ideologies on consumer ethics. Thus, the purpose of this study to investigate the influence of consumers’ religion, moral philosophy and generational cohort on their perception toward various consumers’ ethical behavior practices. Design/methodology/approach The study uses sample from three different cohorts (Generation Y, Generation X and Baby boomers) in Australia. The final numbers of respondents are 251. Male and female respondents are almost equal in number (52 and 48 per cent, respectively). Most participants are single (56 per cent), and 24 per cent are married. The age cohorts are Gen-Y (70 per cent), Gen-X (16 per cent) and Baby boomers (14 per cent). In terms of religion, 46 per cent of the respondents were identified as Christian or Catholic, whereas 42 per cent reported having no religion. Findings The results show that religiosity had the strongest effect compared to moral ideologies and generation cohorts. It can be assumed that at least for religious consumers, when two ideas collide between religion and ethical ideologies, religious principles may supersede ethical ideologies. The study offers several implications for marketers, educators and public policy makers. Research limitations/implications The current study has several limitations, especially the use of convenience sampling that may limit the generalizability of the findings. Consumers in Australia may behave differently from general consumers or other cohorts with regard to their ethical judgments. Originality/value This is one of the first few studies exploring consumer ethics in Australia. We may conclude that in some ethical situations, religion will supersede ethical ideologies. Accordingly, it is important not to remove religion from ethics education, especially for religious consumers.

“…When looking back to the previous studies, inconsistent findings emerge. Studies by (Abu Aldeyar, 2015;Baumsteiger, Chenneville, & McGuire, 2013;Glover, 1997;Zaman, 2010) found a positive relationship between religiosity and morality. The studies of (Abu Qaood, 2008;Smartt, 2014) found that there is a weak relationship between religiosity level and moral reasoning.…”

The prediction role of spiritual intelligence in moral reasoning is studied in a sample of 249 students (124 males, 125 females), from 11th grade of government schools in Wilayat Alsuwaiq, in North Albatinah region in the Sultanate of Oman. Gibbs et al., (1984) inventory is used to measure moral reasoning, and King (2008) inventory is used to measure spiritual intelligence. The findings indicate that spiritual intelligence and gender predict moral reasoning, while spiritual intelligence contributes significantly to the total score of moral reasoning as opposed to gender which does not. In addition, moral reasoning does not differ significantly by gender, whereas spiritual intelligence does. Future research is needed to investigate different factors that may have an effect on students’ moral reasoning.
