摘要：

74 MBA students and 82 graduates read a vignette describing a manager pressured to falsify information either to obtain or retain a sales contract. Unethical behavior was judged more unfavorably when intended to obtain a gain than to avoid a loss. Also, unethical behavior was judged more unfavorably when a given total effect was concentrated among a few victims than when distributed more widely. Respondents attributed a manager's lying more to situational forces and less to personality than they did refusing to lie. It is suggested that training in ethics and decision making go hand-in-hand.
