| Abstract: | Business students from the three NAFTA countries were shown a possible Sexual Harassment scenario from Arthur Andersen’s Business
Ethics Program. They were asked to respond to a pre-questionnaire concerning the three characters’ behaviors and possible
actions and a post-questionnaire after writing a report from the points of view of the three characters in the scenario. The
students were asked to consider whether the characters should report the possible harasser to their supervisor, and thus engage
in whistle-blowing behavior, as well as directly confront the harasser. Hypotheses are formulated for the three NAFTA countries
based on Hofstede’s cultural dimensions. There were significant differences, but in some cases not in the direction expected.
Gender differences are also explored, but there were few significant differences. |
