This study aims to address the topic of ethics, responsibility and sustainability (ERS) orientation of students enrolled in schools of economics and management master’s degrees. It examines the effect of educational background and gender on Portuguese students’ orientation towards ERS, as well as the extent to which there is a relation between the scientific area of the master degree in which the student is enrolled and his/her ERS orientation.,The authors used a sample of 201 students from several master degrees offered by the School of Economics and Management of a large public Portuguese university and analysed their ERS orientation using a survey by questionnaire.,Findings suggest that there are differences in orientation across gender, with female students valuing ERS more than their male counterparts. Educational background has minimal effects on the responses. It was also found some sort of selection effect in terms of the scientific area of the master degree and ERS orientation.,This study contributes to the literature by analysing the issue of whether students with an educational background in economics and management present different ERS orientation than their counterparts, as well as by examining whether there is some sort of self-selection into the study of disciplines in which ERS orientation is likely to be a week. As far as the authors are aware, this is the first study analysing this type of issue regarding ERS.

经济和管理硕士生的道德，责任和可持续发展取向

本研究旨在解决就读经济与管理硕士学位的学生的道德，责任与可持续性（ERS）方向的主题。它研究了教育背景和性别对葡萄牙学生对ERS的定位的影响，以及该学生就读的硕士学位的科学领域与其ERS定位之间的关联程度。作者使用了葡萄牙某大型公立大学经济与管理学院提供的201名来自多个硕士学位的学生的样本，并通过问卷调查分析了他们的ERS取向。研究结果表明，性别取向存在差异，女学生对ERS的评价高于男学生。教育背景对回答的影响很小。还发现了在硕士学位的科学领域和ERS定向方面的某种选择效应。本研究通过分析具有经济和管理学背景的学生是否呈现出不同于ERS定向的问题，为文献研究做出了贡献。他们的同行，以及通过检查是否有某种自我选择来研究ERS定向可能会持续一周的学科。据作者所知，这是分析此类有关ERS的第一项研究。这项研究通过分析以下问题为文献提供了帮助：分析具有经济和管理学教育背景的学生是否呈现出与他们的同行不同的ERS取向，以及通过检查是否存在某种自我选择进入学科研究来解决这一问题。 ERS定位可能需要一周。据作者所知，这是分析有关ERS这类问题的第一项研究。这项研究通过分析以下问题为文献提供了帮助：分析具有经济和管理学教育背景的学生是否呈现出与他们的同行不同的ERS取向，以及通过检查是否存在某种自我选择进入学科研究来解决这一问题。 ERS定位可能需要一周。据作者所知，这是分析此类有关ERS的第一项研究。
