Results suggested that individuals with a self-enhanced tendency in their own ethical evaluation tended to engage in unethical decision-making across different levels of outcome concentration and magnitude. Additional findings also suggested that individuals' overestimation of their own ethical propensity, as well as their self-reported likelihood to engage in an unethical decision, decreased as the effectiveness of the accountability system increased. Implications of self-enhancement tendency in one's own ethical perception and ethical decision-making would be discussed.v, 89 leaves :Decision making Moral and ethical aspects.Psychology, Industrial.Business Administration, Management.Thesis
