摘要

本研究的目的是基于重要性-绩效图分析法(cIPMA),研究道德强度对职业会计师道德决策过程的影响。研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型(PLS-SEM)对 309 名会计师的数据进行分析,考察了四个道德强度维度(后果大小、社会共识、影响概率和影响集中度)与道德决策过程之间的关系。研究结果显示,道德认知和道德判断是预测会计师道德意图的必要条件。然而,就重要性和绩效而言,道德认知的作用不如道德判断显著。此外,道德强度维度对道德认知的影响明显,而对道德判断和道德意图的影响则更多地取决于情境。该研究强调了在制定加强会计行业道德决策的策略时,考虑具体道德困境和道德强度的不同影响的重要性。据作者所知,该研究是第一项将 PLS-SEM 结果与重要性-绩效图分析和必要条件分析相结合来研究道德强度与会计师道德决策之间关系的研究。

Moral intensity and ethical decision-making: a combined importance-performance map analysis for professional accountants

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of moral intensity on the ethical decision-making process of professional accountants based on a combined importance-performance map analysis (cIPMA).

Design/methodology/approach

Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) on data from 309 accountants, the study examined the relationships between four moral intensity dimensions: magnitude of consequences, social consensus, probability of effect and concentration of effect, and the ethical decision-making process. The study also methodologically complemented by a combined importance-performance map analysis and necessary condition analysis.

Findings

The findings reveal that moral recognition and moral judgment are necessary conditions for predicting accountants’ moral intent. However, in terms of importance and performance, moral recognition plays a less significant role compared to moral judgment. Furthermore, the influence of moral intensity dimensions is pronounced on moral recognition, while their influence on moral judgment and moral intent is more context dependent. This is also exhibited in the combined importance-performance map analysis results.

Research limitations/implications

The study highlights the importance of considering specific ethical dilemmas and the differential influence of moral intensity when developing strategies to strengthen ethical decision-making in the accounting profession. Future research is encouraged to explore how cultural backgrounds and diverse settings influence accountants’ ethical decision-making with tailored measurement tools for a more comprehensive understanding.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the study is among the first to complement the results of PLS-SEM with importance-performance map analysis and necessary condition analysis to examine the relationship between moral intensity and ethical decision-making of accountants.
