Obedience to authority and ethical dilemmas in Hong Kong companies

Article Abstract:

A phenomenological sub-study of the way Hong Kong Chinese employees dealt with their own ethical dilemmas within their company is presented. A special analysis was undertaken on eight dilemma cases resulting from a request by a superior authority to do something considered as unethical. Results suggest that if corruption were committed at the top, codes of conduct introduced into Hong Kong would be ineffective, thus posing a threat to business ethics in the country.
