Abstract

This study explored a way of assessing the impact of business education on students' ethical orientations, by comparing MBA students' entry-exit responses to two different instruments. Results showed significant reductions in the propensity for unethical decision scores, but not in the propensity for moral disengagement score. This study had also a practical purpose: to illustrate a way business schools could evaluate their efforts at ethical education and present their achievements in compliance with accreditation requirements (particularly, assurance of learning procedures). By highlighting the study's limitations (particularly, measurement and research design), the authors propose a research program for business schools.

摘要

本研究通过比较 MBA 学生对两种不同工具的进出反应，探索了一种评估商业教育对学生道德取向影响的方法。结果显示不道德决策得分的倾向显着降低，但道德脱离倾向得分没有显着降低。这项研究还有一个实际目的：说明商学院如何评估他们在道德教育方面的努力，并按照认证要求（特别是学习程序的保证）展示他们的成就。通过强调研究的局限性（特别是测量和研究设计），作者为商学院提出了一个研究计划。
