Factors affecting ethical management: comparing a developed and a developing economy

Article Abstract:

A comparative study of ethical management practices in two different economies, Australia and Sri Lanka, was conducted to determine the relationship, if any, between level of economic development and ethical management behavior. The study tried to link firm-specific variables such ass size, ownership and international involvement with management practice variables such as the existence of a written code of ethics. Results indicate that ethical management behavior is likely to vary between countries as a result of cultural and socio-economic factors.

Will the collapse of the American dream lead to a decline in ethical business behavior

Article Abstract:

Two hundred ninety-seven employees from a manufacturing firm were surveyed to determine whether deterioration of their socio-economic status lead to a decline in ethical business behavior. The behaviors considered are honesty, trustworthiness and tolerance. Results suggest that, although a company cannot assure its employees with a better socio-economic life, it can still elicit ethical behavior by treating employees fairly, considering their self-esteem and showing concern for individual career development.
