Abstract: | Previous work suggests that gender attitudes are associated with different individual and organizational factors. At the same
time, ethics research suggests that many of these same variables can influence ethical reasoning in companies. In this study,
we sought to combine these streams of research to investigate whether individual skepticism of women’s employment is related
to ethical reasoning in a gender-based ethical situation. The results of the hierarchical regression analysis indicated that
skepticism of women’s employment was negatively related to the recognition that the gender-based dilemma involved an ethical
problem, and that skepticism was also negatively related to judgments that the situation was unethical. These findings imply
that companies should advance policies that increase tolerance for women’s employment, such as diversity training codes of
conduct, and ethics training. |
