| Abstract: | This study explores the impact of both individual ethics (IE) and organizational ethics (OE) on ethical intention (EI). The focus is on EI in international business decision-making as the international context offers great latitude in making ethical decisions. It is found that both IE and OE influence EI. Ethical congruence is also discussed as a positive influence. Younger managers are more influenced by OE than the older ones. The findings call for creating governance mechanisms to enhance ethical congruence, thus increasing the likelihood of managers making ethical choices in organizational decision making. |
