Abstract: | This paper explores the relationship of various trait emotions to the ethical choices of 189 college students who completed
a managerial decision-making task as part of an in-basket exercise in a laboratory setting. Prior research regarding emotion
influences on ethical decision-making and linkages between emotions and cognition informed hypotheses about how different
types of emotions impact ethical choices. Findings supported our expectations that positive and negative emotions classified
as active would be more strongly related to interpersonally-directed ethical choices than to organizationally-directed ones,
and that passive emotions would be less related to ethical choices than active emotions. Implications for ethical decision-making
research and organizational practices are discussed. |
