| Tiivistelmä: | This study used experimental and correlational techniques to examine perceptions that university faculty hold regarding the practice of professional selling of examination textbooks to wholesalers. The authors presented hypothetical selling situations to respondents with manipulated variables consisting of solicitation status and use of money. Both main effects and the interaction effect were significant such that respondents perceived it to be more ethical to sell an examination book when the book was unsolicited and when the money was being used to fund student activities. Implications for business ethics theory, students' moral development, and advancement of on-campus codes of ethics policies are discussed in this paper along with avenues for future research. |
