Abstract: | This article explores a possible explanation for the gender differential in involvement in scandals and acts of charity. Drawing on a conceptual framework of three Fundamental Moral Orientations (FMOs), i.e. selfishness, self-fullness, and selflessness, and relevant literature on gender effects, it is explored whether men and women are perceived as differing fundamentally in how they approach moral dilemmas. Using a sample of personnel (n=682) from the hotel industry in Turkey, gender is found to have some effect on the perceived adoption of FMOs. These gender effects are found to be generally consistent across age, educational level, and organizational rank categories. |
