“…Plunkett, Attner, and Allen (2008) define an organization as an entity managed by people to achieve stated goals, but because people with different backgrounds have different perceptions and values, the failure to recognize differences might compromise educational and informative efforts (Gambini 2006). In addition, people from different cultural backgrounds have different perceptions of ethics and sustainability (Gambini 2006;Rawwas, Swaidan, and Isakson 2007). Wong, Long, and Elankumaran's (2009) S.K.…”

This study investigates differences between business schools in different institutional settings, using top-ranked Chinese and US business schools as the bases of analysis. To assess the divergent educational approaches, this study investigates the (1) number of sustainability-related courses per school, (2) design and arrangement of sustainability-related course curricula, (3) content of sustainability-related courses, and (4) teaching methods in sustainability-related courses, across differing institutional settings. The findings reveal differences in the curriculum designs of the two countries, which likely reflect differences in their local institutional settings and their interpretations of sustainability. This study offers several implications and recommendations for further research.

“…Finally, opportunity defines a favorable condition that employees face in the workplace. In the absence of an IWE, Rawwas, Swaidan, and Isakson () found higher scores for coefficients of opportunity in MBA students in the USA and Hong Kong when compared to moral philosophies as well as organizational values and relationship. This indicates that when the MBA students found an opportunity, their academic dishonesty increased in the form of cheating.…”

In this article, we examined the relationship between abusive supervision and deviant workplace behavior and the moderating role of an Islamic Work Ethic. Three hundred and thirty‐six employees in different organizations (specializing in software development, medicine, law enforcement, telecommunication, pharmaceutics, and banking) across Pakistan completed our questionnaire. The results revealed that abusive supervision was positively related to deviant workplace behavior. Moreover, the moderation of an Islamic Work Ethic on the relationship between abusive supervision and deviant work behavior was confirmed. The study contributed in many ways. It expanded literature by revealing a weaker relationship between abusive supervision and deviant behavior when Islamic Work Ethic (IWE) was high. It also tested the conservation of resources theory by providing a plausible reasoning of the role of IWE in employee motivation. By integrating IWE as a resource in the workplace, practitioners would learn that the proper use of resources would produce satisfied workers who would not indulge in deviant workplace behaviors.

“…As a subcategory of research dishonesty, plagiarism is the representation of the work of another, or one's own work, without acknowledgement of such work and can include careless paraphrasing, the copying of identical text or providing incomplete references that mislead the reader into believing that the ideas expressed belong to the author of the text. 2,3 Over the past years student plagiarism has commanded much research attention [4][5][6][7][8] , with increasing focus on the detection of plagiarism 9 and ways of addressing it 4 . However, relatively little has been published about plagiarism committed by academics [10][11][12][13] , with research thus far regarded as largely anecdotal and speculative 2 .…”

Plagiarism in South African management journals

Plagiarism by academics has been relatively unexplored thus far. However, there has been a growing awareness of this problem in recent years. We submitted 371 published academic articles appearing in 19 South African management journals in 2011 through the plagiarism detection software program Turnitin™. High and excessive levels of plagiarism were detected. The cost to government of subsidising unoriginal work in these journals was calculated to approximate ZAR7 million for the period under review. As academics are expected to role model ethical behaviour to students, such a finding is disturbing and has implications for the reputations of the institutions to which the authors are affiliated as well as that of the journals that publish articles that contain plagiarised material.
