dc.description.abstract |
Even though unethical behaviour within the public sector has received
a greater attention in recent years, limited work has been conducted
related to gender influences on ethical intention. Hence, this paper
applies gender identity theory to the Rest‘s ethical decision-making
model to examine ethical intention of employees. This is a crosssectional
study and it covers a sample of four hundred public sector
officials in national level organizations. A self-administered
questionnaire was used to collect primary data. The study uncovers
the context-based influence of biological gender on ethical intention.
Expressive traits, as the psychological aspects of gender, significantly
influence the ethical intention. Further, expressive individuals are
more egoistic in forming the ethical intention in their workplace.
These findings will be useful to understand why employees behave
unethically and how biological and psychological aspects of gender
make them pursue ethicality in the work environment. |
