| Summary: | To date, our understanding of ethical decision making and behavior in organizations has been concentrated in the area of moral judgment, largely because of the hundreds of studies done involving cognitive moral development.

This recent work is extended here by exploring the effect that organizations have on ethical behavior in terms of the moral approbation construct. |
