Casali, 2011: Developing a Multidimensional Scale for Ethical Decision Making

Topic:

This article reports on the development of the managerial ethical profile (МЕР) scale. The МЕР scale is a multilevel, self-reporting scale measuring the perceived influence that different dimensions of common ethical frameworks have on managerial decision making. The МЕР scale measures on eight subscales: economic egoism, reputational egoism, act utilitarianism, rule utilitarianism, self-virtue of self, virtue of others, act deontology, and rule deontology. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to provide evidence of scale validity.
