| Abstract: | This study suggests that human resources managers would be more disapproving of unethical conduct than both finance and marketing managers. When asked to assess instances of unethical behaviour in vignettes, human resources and finance managers were both significantly more disapproving than marketing managers. However, human resource managers were not significantly more disapproving than finance managers. Average responses on the disapproving side from all three functional groups are explained by two complementary trends that promote ethical awareness among all functional managers. One is the adoption of homogenous cnventions in ethical business practice. The other trend is the increase in ethical awareness specific to each of the functional professions. |
