| description | This paper presents a cross-national study of attitudes of university students toward business ethics in three countries: Australia, Singapore and Hong Kong. Results showed that the attitudes toward business ethics to be significantly different among the three countries. Respondents who practised their religion tend to consider themselves more ethically minded than those who do not. Additional findings on gender have also revealed significant differences between the males and females for respondents in Singapore and Australia. Males are generally considered more ethical than females across the three countries studied. |
