Tiivistelmä: | Based on survey responses from more than 6300 business students attending 120 colleges and universities in 36 countries, this article reports on the relationship btw. nationality and business-related (henceforth as: b-r.) ethicality (as: ethl-y.). Two well-documented determinants of business ethics, that is, gender and religiosity, are explored as moderators of the nationality-business (as: n-b.) ethl-y. relationship. The key finding is that, while statistically significant differences were found btw. the b-r. ethl-y. of American survey participants and the b-r. ethl-y. of the non-American survey participants, the magnitudes of the differences are not substantial. It is suggested that i. more empirical cross-cultural/national research is needed on b-r. ethl-y. ethicality, and ii. previous explanations for cross-cultural/national differences in ethics need to be reconsidered before further generalizations are entitled. |
