Abstract

This work aims to study the relationship between individuals' love of money and their propensity to engage in unethical behaviour.,Data were collected through a questionnaire, with the final sample consisting of 297 Portuguese individuals. The hypotheses were tested using linear regression models.,The results demonstrate that there is no significant relationship between the love of money and the propensity to engage in unethical behaviour. However, there was a significant relationship between the level of budgeting and the propensity to engage in unethical behaviours – for those individuals who have a greater ability to manage their money are less likely to engage in behaviours unethical. The existence of a significant relationship between the “evil” factor and the propensity to engage in unethical behaviour was also validated, which demonstrates that when individuals both associate negative feelings with money and consider love of money to be the “root of evil”, then they are less likely to be involved in unethical behaviour.,This work contributes theoretically and empirically to a better understanding of individuals' attitudes towards money and their propensity to engage in unethical behaviour. The results are of particular academic and organisational relevance due to the implications for human resource management.,Este trabalho tem como objetivo estudar as relacoes entre o amor ao dinheiro dos individuos e a sua propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos.,Os dados foram recolhidos atraves de questionario, sendo a amostra final composta por 297 individuos portugueses. As hipoteses foram testadas atraves de regressoes lineares.,Os resultados demonstram a nao existencia de uma relacao significativa entre o amor ao dinheiro e a propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos. Contudo, comprovou-se a existencia de uma relacao significativa entre o nivel de orcamentacao e a propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos, a medida que os individuos apresentam uma maior capacidade para gerir o seu dinheiro, apresentam um menor propensao para se envolverem em comportamentos nao eticos. Tambem se validou a existencia de relacao significativa entre o fator malefico e a propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos, demonstrando que quando os individuos associam ao dinheiro sentimentos negativos e que consideram o amor ao dinheiro como a raiz da maldade apresentam menor propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos.,Este trabalho contribui teorica e empiricamente para melhor compreender as atitudes dos individuos perante o dinheiro e a sua propensao para o envolvimento em comportamentos nao eticos. Os resultados sao de especial relevância academica e organizacional devido as implicacoes na gestao de recursos humanos.

对金钱的热爱和从事不道德行为的倾向:一项以葡萄牙为背景的研究
这项工作旨在研究个人对金钱的热爱与他们从事不道德行为的倾向之间的关系。数据通过问卷收集,最终样本由297名葡萄牙人组成。采用线性回归模型对假设进行检验。结果表明,爱钱与从事不道德行为的倾向之间没有显著的关系。然而,预算水平和从事不道德行为的倾向之间存在着显著的关系——对于那些管理金钱能力更强的人来说,从事不道德行为的可能性更小。“邪恶”因素与从事不道德行为的倾向之间存在着显著的关系,这也证明了当个体将负面情绪与金钱联系在一起并认为爱钱是“邪恶的根源”时,他们就不太可能参与不道德行为。这项工作有助于从理论上和经验上更好地理解个人对金钱的态度以及他们从事不道德行为的倾向。由于对人力资源管理的影响,结果具有特殊的学术和组织相关性。,Este trabalho的共同目标是研究作为一个中心的关系,对个人的关系,对社会的影响,对社会的影响,对社会的影响,对社会的影响。(1)问卷调查结果,问卷调查结果为297个葡萄牙人。随着时间的推移,有孔的测试结果显示线性回归。本文的研究结果表明,在研究过程中不存在相对显著的影响因素,而在研究过程中也不存在显著的影响因素。因此,折衷- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -本研究认为,对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响、对个体的负面影响。,Este trabalho贡献了经验主义的经验主义的全面理解,因为个人的态度与他们的行为有关,而社会主义的倾向则与他们的行为有关。其结果是特别相关的中央情报局学术和组织分歧的含义,即人类递归的含义。
