Differences in Ethical Beliefs, Intentions, and Behaviors
基于计划行为理论和道德发展理论,研究个体在道德信念、意图和实际行为之间的差异,发现三者存在显著不同,且支持理由也各异。
Using Ajzen's Theory of Planned Behavior and Kohlberg's Theory of Moral Development, we look at individual beliefs (What should I do?), intention (What would I do?), and actual behaviors (What did I do?) and the rationale used in each instance. Of the 12 hypotheses, 10 are strongly supported and 2 are moderately supported. This data set shows that significant differences exist between belief and action, belief and intention, and intention and action; the rationales used to support belief, intention, and action differ from one another. Implications for academic research and managerial practice are discussed and research limitations are examined.
