| Abstract: | The focus of this study is on ethics as a legitimate underpinning to good business decision making. Using a self-response survey of marketing managers in Spain, the current theory on ethical decision making is extended. Based on the results, support is found for the mediating influence of the PRESOR construct on relativistic and idealistic moral thinking when one is considering the moral intensity of a situation. Furthermore, there is found support for the relationship btw. relativism (negative), idealism (positive), corporate ethical values, and job satisfaction, thus providing additional support for the prior theory etc. [PRESOR construct refers to an individual's perception of the importance of ethics and social responsibility for the effectiveness of the organization]. |
