| Abstract: | Resulting from an empirical research project analyzing the decision behaviour of Austrian managers in ethical dilemma situations, there are shown results of an online survey dealing with scenarios depicting ethical dilemma situations. The results support the theoretical work on the named concepts: Fairness elements ... have a key role in management decisions in ethical dilemma situations. Also, commitment as a behaviour going along with rules even if personal welfare is negatively touched, and reciprocal altruism as a cooperative behaviour expecting a reciprocal beneficial action from other persons have been concepts used by Austrian managers when analyzing ethical dilemmas. |
