| Tiivistelmä: | This paper examines this inconsistency btw. the beliefs of college student regarding the need for ethical behaviour (hereafter as: beh.) in a business setting and their actions in an academic setting. This study's results indicate that while students are generally upset with cheating in their class, a large proportion of them nonetheless engage in such beh. Furthermore, students have a good understanding of what constitutes ethical beh. in the business world and the need for such beh. However, they also believe that business people fail to act in an ethical manner, and that they may need to act unethically to advance their careers. Students' concern with business ethics contrasted sharply with their own lack of personal ethics. This "paradox" is consistent with the idea that students view the practicality of an action as being more important than its ethicality. |
