Abstract

Ethics are incredibly important. They define moral principles and rule of conduct (Chris bart, 2006). The authors reviewed the empirical literature in order to assess which variables are postulated in influencing ethical behavior among MBA students. The present survey was anonymously completed by 516 students enrolled in business courses from various colleges under the control of University of Madras. The intent of the survey was to analyze the present status and future ethical behavior of MBA students using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR) analysis. The findings suggest that attitude followed by culture is the strongest predictor. The review identified the variables that have been empirically tested in an effort to uncover what is known at present and what we need to know in future about the variables that are hypothesized as factors of ethical behavior among MBA students.
