Description
Summary:This paper examines the degree of cultural diversity between two ethnic groups in South Florida. The cultural attitudes and causal attributions for unethical work behavior of 269 Anglo and Hispanic business graduate students and of 255 Anglo and Hispanic business executives were investigated. Findings from t-test comparisons for both of these samples suggest a strong agreement between Hispanics and Anglos in their individualism and collectivism orientation, as well as in their process of justifying potentially unethical decisions. Implications for theory, research and practices will be discussed.
