Article Title
Understanding the Moral Decision-Making Processes of Working Professionals
Abstract
This article builds upon a long standing interest on the part of business ethics scholars regarding the nature of moral reasoning and the linkages between cognitive development and ethical decision-making. In this study, we attempt to eliminate ambiguity in earlier results while also exploring the importance of moral hypocrisy as an organizational issue. Using a sample of working professionals, we extend the generalizability of prior results beyond freshman psychology students. Additionally, we conclude that earlier results were not an artifact of cognitive neurological immaturity.
