“…In a study of organizational behavior students, Nelson et al (2012) found that students who completed a writing task which involved making recommendations to improve a hypothetical organization's ethics, experienced an increase in self-efficacy in dealing with managing ethical issues. Similarly, in another study of university students, Blewitt et al (2018) found that students who participated in a university-sponsored business forum experienced increases in self-efficacy, which ultimately resulted in better decision-making in practice. The expressive writing and ACED-IT interventions employed in the present study likely had a similar effect of allowing participants to think systematically through an ethical problem, which helped them to avoid detriments associated with the threat to self-efficacy.…”

Self-efficacy is the assessment of one's capacity to perform tasks. Previous research has demonstrated that self-efficacy impacts ethical behavior and attitudes but its effect on ethical cognition and perceptions has not been studied. For the present study, participants analyzed an ethical dilemma after either high or low self-efficacy was induced. Participants analyzed the dilemma using one of two cognitive problem-solving techniques (a structured cognitive tool or an unstructured cognitive technique) versus a third, control group, and what participants wrote about the problem was content-analyzed to determine how ethical cognition is impacted by selfefficacy. Additionally, perceptions of the ethical problem were examined. Results revealed that differences in self-efficacy did not lead to changes in ethical cognition, but they did lead to changes in perceptions of ethical problems. Implications of these findings are discussed.

This study analyzed the effect cross-cultural differences in perceived horizontal equity and self-efficacy have on the creation of budgetary slack. This research addressed the gap in the role of ethical ideology in business by empirically examining the influence of culture on an individual’s ethical ideology and their propensity to create budgetary slack. A total of 803 subjects included 413 individuals from America and 390 from Brazil. A series of analysis of variance testing identified statistical significance between horizontal equity and the creation of budgetary slack, as well as statistically significant differences between low/high years of experience and budgetary slack levels. Additional cross tabulations were included related to both horizontal equity as well as self-efficacy. The results highlight budgetary procedures that may impact a person’s perceptions of fairness in pay compared to colleagues or peers with similar positions in organizations. Findings suggest that employees with more years of professional experience could benefit from education on potential negative unintended consequences of creating slack in their budgetary decisions. Our findings may be used by managers to gain awareness of this significance and take necessary steps to create equitable pay policies and budgetary targets. Study results indicated no statistical difference in slack levels between Americans and Brazilians.

“…On the other hand, Value-based education is a learning process that takes place with constant emphasis on the values of goodness and life contained in it [51][52][53]. It is claimed that value-based education liberates the education process to accommodate change and give true freedom that enables the teacher to create, innovate, and do experiment with notions of learning; a votary of teachers' rights to empower them to become the catalysts of change in achieving the goals of national education with sound value system and integrity of character by transforming the nature of education with the larger objectives of this s attempt [54,55].…”
