Abstract/Summary
Business expansion brings forth more problems in the midst of conflicting interests among different parties. People tend to decide on matters depending on their ethical behavior and reasoning. This research aims to evaluate the business ethics readiness of graduating students in De La Salle University Manila (DLSU) before they enter the business world. The study considered factors affecting business ethics including demographic factors, religiosity, work experience, education, observance of rules. This paper seeks to prove that the aforementioned factors have implications on the variance of the level of business ethics that these business majors have. It was found that the course Legal Management, perceived personal religiosity and observance of rules explained significantly the variance in ethical behavior. As a support for the findings in the regression analysis, significant differences in ethical behavior were also found among all the independent variables once the individual questions were analyzed. This study was done using survey questionnaires answered by graduating De La Salle University (DLSU) students in the College of Business (COB).
