Abstract: | The article addresses previously made findings in business ethics literature that suggest accounting professionals in higher rank levels seem to have a lower moral reasoning ability than junior accounting professionals. Multiple vignettes approach is employed to study the inverse rank-ethical beliefs effect. The findings indicate that the strongest predictor of ethical attitudes among accounting professionals is age, not their rank in the organization. |
