| description | Existence and persistence of financial scandals and crises has invigorated more interest in ethical judgment and
behavior of policymakers, regulators, and executives throughout the world. These events have weak ened the
trust among the public and investors’ confidence towards the financial markets globally and their financial
reports. In this paper, we examined the role of individual traits in ethical judgment process and develop a model
of assessing the effectiveness of the identified individual traits. We conducted a survey among 280
undergraduate business students at five private and public universities in Malaysia. We identified that gender
identification, religiosity, ethnicity, and basic individual values are important considerations in making ethical
judgment. These results suggested that personal traits and psychological factors play an important role in the
ethical judgment process |
