Abstract: | This article introduces and validates a new instrument, The Moral Reasoning Inventory, which is designed to measure an individuals' moral reasoning (MR) in response to two moral dilemmas within a business setting. The instrument includes two moral dilemma scenarios with eight MR statements. In order to analyze patterns of individual responses, two measurement scales are used: i. the strength of belief in the reasons and ii. the importance of those reasons for resolving the dilemma. Managers taking part in a part-time MBA program were given the use of the new instrument. Data analysis explicitly supported the effectiveness of the instrument in separating patterns of consistency in MR within decision groups. |
