Abstract: | Forsyth’s (1980) Ethics Position Questionnaire and Hunt et al.’s (1989) Corporate Ethical Value Questionnaire are used to
examine the ethical ideologies of senior managers from organizations listed in the Australian Stock Exchange. The results
indicate how corporate ethical values, religion, gender, and age are related to the idealism and relativism of senior Australian
managers. After discussing the results, limitations of the study are offered. Finally, managerial implications are provided
and recommendations for future research are given.
