Abstract

A sample of 259 South African managers completed a survey originally administered by Nel (1992). The results of the current study indicated a favourable move on four of the 15 questionable actions used to assess each group’s ethical predisposition. Furthermore, the grand means for the two temporal-based samples also provided anecdotal evidence of a positive transition. Virtually identical results were in evidence when the segment of 89 top managers was compared to the sample of its higher level peers from the earlier study by Nel. The results support the premise that today’s South African managers have a more ethical predisposition than did their peers of some 20 years prior to them. However, the study concurrently documents the reality that there is ample room for further improvement.

南非管理商业伦理:一个探索性比较——1987年和2009年
259名南非管理人员完成了最初由Nel(1992)进行的一项调查。目前的研究结果表明,在用于评估每个群体的道德倾向的15项可疑行为中,有4项是有利的。此外,两个基于时间的样本的大均值也提供了积极转变的轶事证据。当将这89名高管与Nel早期研究中的高管样本进行比较时,结果几乎完全相同。研究结果支持了一个前提,即今天的南非经理人比他们20年前的同龄人更有道德倾向。然而,该研究同时记录了一个现实,即有足够的空间进一步改进。
