A Review Paper: Adherence To Ethical Decision-Making in Consultant Quantity Surveyor’s Practice

Abstract

Nowadays, ethics is seen as a key concern in the majority of occupations. The process of assessing and choosing among options in accordance with ethical standards is referred to as ethical decision-making. Consultant quantity surveyors (CQSs) must have ethical decisionmaking (EDM) knowledge in order to perform their jobs successfully and safeguard the client's interests in the building project. As a result, as construction industry experts, CQSs must devise ways to avoid corrupt activities while working with EDM. The study emphasises the notion of ethical decision-making among CQSs for this goal, as well as providing an overview and critical review of a body of literature relevant to the research issue. The present study highlighted some important factors that leads to ethical-decision making such as compliance with code of ethics and religiosity. It is believed that it would push managers and governments to create programmes to help CQSs acquire ethical decision-making skills early in their careers.
