| Summary: | This study examines the impact of various factors on ethical behavior of 507 employees working for three state-owned Chinese firms.

Among control variables, age of the employee had a significant negative impact on ethical behavior, which indicated that the young employees showed a better ethical behavior than the old employees. |
