摘要

目的跨国公司在开展业务的每个国家都会遇到各种不同的因素,因此在做出道德决策时会遇到许多挑战。据作者所知,还没有研究致力于调查一个人的文化视角和道德美德的影响。本研究以最近文献中提出的一个理论基础(即受文化影响的特定价值模型)为基础,旨在研究民族文化的组成部分(即权力距离、个人主义、不确定性规避和男性气质)与诚信美德之间的关系。假设关系采用线性回归法进行检验。研究结果直接效应支持了工人的文化视角会影响诚信的假设。具体来说,本研究发现,员工的权力距离、个人主义和男性气质等文化方面与个人的诚信水平呈显著负相关。此外,个人的不确定性规避水平与正直性呈正相关。原创性/价值本研究通过展示个人所处的文化如何影响个人在工作场所所持有和可能表现出的正直性水平,为文献和实践做出了贡献。这些发现意义重大,因为它们是在道德决策模型中首次考虑文化和道德美德的研究。此外,这些发现还为有关工作场所道德行为的研究开辟了另一条途径。

The push and pull between culture and integrity in the workplace: an ethical decision-making context

Purpose

Multinational corporations encounter numerous challenges in making ethical decisions as they navigate diverse factors in every country where they conduct business. To the best of the authors’ knowledge, no research has been committed to investigating the effects of one’s cultural perspectives and moral virtue. Building on a theoretical foundation recently laid out in the literature (i.e. the culture-influenced value-specific model), this study aims to investigate the relationship between components of national culture (i.e. power distance, individualism, uncertainty avoidance and masculinity) and the moral virtue of integrity.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper uses a quantitative analysis methodology conducted among 160 US-based workers to test a direct effect model of the relationship between national culture and integrity. The hypothesized relationships are examined using linear regression. Additional analysis includes reliability and representativeness analyses.

Findings

Direct effects support the hypotheses that a worker’s cultural perspectives affect integrity. Specifically, this study found that a worker’s cultural aspects of power distance, individualism and masculinity are negatively and significantly related to an individual’s level of integrity. Additionally, an individual’s level of uncertainty avoidance is positively related to integrity.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the literature and practice by demonstrating how the culture in which one resides has an impact on the level of integrity one holds and potentially exhibits in the workplace. These findings are significant in that they are among the first to consider culture and moral virtue in an ethical decision-making model. Furthermore, these findings open an additional pathway for research concerning ethical behavior in the workplace.
