65This research explores the influence of five ethical frameworks on business students' decision regarding the resolution of an ethical dilemma in a simulation. The frameworks of ethical tests are: Utilitarianism (the greatest goodfor the greatest number); Self-Interest (maximizing the benefits to the individual); Categorical Imperative (universal principles ofmorality); Legality (rules, laws, etc.); and Light of Day (possibility of one's actions being discovered). Results showed that the strongest influences were the Categorical Imperative, Self-Interest, and Legality. Among demographic variables, only age was related to the students' decision or the ethical tests.
