Dear SIM members,
Last summer, I enlisted your help in identifying behavioral ethics studies for a meta-analysis with my co-authors, Dr. Linda Treviño and Dr. David Harrison. Thank you to all who replied! We are now in the process of finalizing that meta-analysis* and are looking for any additional studies that may fit our parameters.
As you may recall, we are interested in studies that use ethical/unethical behavior or workplace deviance as the dependent variable (more details below). I’ve already searched the major electronic databases (ABI Inform, PsychINFO, etc.), but now, I'm hoping you can help me find dissertations, conference presentations, book chapters, unpublished papers, or empirical studies reported in other outlets that would not be easily found in a normal literature search.
The dependent variable could be any general measure of unethical behavior or workplace deviance. It could also be a specific behavior such as aggression, bribery, cheating (non-academic), deception, kickbacks, lying, software piracy, theft, or sabotage.
On the independent variable side, we are looking for empirical studies that include one or more of the following:
Cognitive Moral Development
Locus of Control
Idealism/Relativism
Machiavellianism
Gender, Age, or Education Level
Job Satisfaction
Ethical climate
Ethical culture
Code of conduct
Enforcement of code of conduct
Moral Intensity
Once again, I appreciate any help you can provide! Of course, my co-authors and I will include and cite papers that meet the parameters of our meta-analysis.
Please let me know if you have any questions. My apologies for cross-posting.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Kish Gephart
