dc.description.abstract | A seemingly endless series of high-profile incidents involving the actions of some prominent
United States and European corporate and government individuals have occurred in recent
years, weakening faith in leaders, intuitions and the marketplace. This has fueled discussions
concerning ethical behavior in business by those in leadership positions. These events have
brought more attention to post-secondary schools of business that seek to prepare future
business professionals for situations and circumstances they may face. Yet, students do not
come to post-secondary intuitions as blank slates. With regard to ethics and other aspects of
their moral foundation much has already been shaped and determined. The current study
explores a specific cohort of these students, namely women of Generation Z who will soon
begin their careers in industry and government. A good number of these women will eventually
rise to significant leadership positions in their chosen fields. Results from over 250 Generation
Z women participating in a Research Lab housed at a medium sized university in the southern
part of the United States are presented and discussed. Specifically, the study reports on: (1)
research from a number of fields addressing ethical development and systems, (2) the ethical
influences on these individuals, (3) self-reported knowledge of various moral perspectives and
ethical issues, and (4) their evaluations on the severity of a number of behaviors. Results are
discussed in the context of how Generation Z women may manage differently than those
currently holding positions of power and authority in our society. | en_US |
