| Abstract: | This paper explores the effects of nationality and personal values on managers' responses to the perceived role of ethics and social responsibility (PRESOR) scale. The authors suggest that managers in China would believe less strongly in the significance of ethical and socially responsible business conduct, and that after controlling for national differences, managers' personal values would have a significant effect on PRESOR responses. The hypotheses were tested using a sample of practicing managers enrolled in part-time MBA programs in the two countries. It is shown that nationality did not have a consistent influence on PRESOR responses. After controlling for national differences, self-transcendence values had a notable impact on two of the three PRESOR dimensions. Conservation values such as conformity and tradition also had a significant association with certain dimensions of the PRESOR scale. |
