“…Research by Christie et al (2003) has shown a strong correlation between ethical attitudes of business managers and culture. Many cross-cultural studies analyze acculturation, especially when discussing how immigrants integrate into the host society (Berry, 1997, 2003, 2005; Jaffe et al, 2018; Jasinskaja-Lahti et al, 2011; Leshem and Neeman-Haviv, 2013; Remennick, 2003; Tartakovsky, 2012; Ward, 1996). Berry (2003, 2005, 2006; Phinney, 2003) claims that acculturation is a mutual process that affects all groups in contact with each other.…”

This paper reports a systematic literature review of articles published over the past 35 years on cross-cultural issues in business ethics. A screening process resulted in a final sample of 306 papers in 26 double-blind reviewed journals with an impact factor score of at least 1.0 in the field. This study uses citation analysis, systematic literature review method, and knowledge-stock analysis. This study highlights the findings from prior studies, compares and contrasts salient characteristics and provides directions for future research. This study identifies important gaps between the literature and the challenges of cross-cultural issues in business ethics. These gaps include lack of conceptual articles, multi-countries level analysis, and deficiency of comparison analysis between developed and developing countries. This article proposes to apply virtue ethics and model of cultural sense-making as some analytical frameworks in the field of cross-cultural issues in business ethics. This review of the literature could provide managers with a longitudinal perspective on how the institutional environment and national culture affect business ethics perception of employees. This paper contributes to the cross-cultural literature on ethical attitudes, helps us better understand cross-cultural differences in business ethics, and provides directions for further research.

“…In this context, future studies could explore whether these events have had an impact on a) perception of white-collar criminality; and b) and victimization rate in the form of bribery asking by officials. Finally, the previous research has identified the influence of involvement in Russian culture and society on the tolerant view of white-collar crimes (Al-Haj & Leshem, 2000;Leshem & Neeman-Haviv, 2013;Sebba, 1983). Thus, that would be interesting to test whether Azerbaijani victims who had lived in the Soviet regime differ from their decision-making on crime reporting from their younger compatriots no experience of the Soviet regime.…”

“…Although white-collar crime has been historically perceived as a phenomenon specific to capitalist countries (Leshem & Ne’eman-Haviv, 2013), government officials in the Soviet Union were not immune to such crimes either. Analyzing economic corruption in the Soviet Union, Montius and Rose-Ackerman (1981) concluded that bribery, which was endemic across government bureaucrats, provided a source of income to many people at a time of relative material deprivation.…”

Relatively limited attention has been paid by scholars to explore the crime reporting behavior of white-collar crime victims, especially in developing countries, such as Azerbaijan, where some forms of white-collar crimes are widespread. Using the dataset of the first nationwide victimization survey (n = 1,214) in Azerbaijan, the current paper attempts to explore the determinants of crime reporting among 4 specific white-collar offense (fraud, request for bribery, sale of unsafe good and sale of unsafe food for consumption) among randomly selected, yet unrepresentative subsample of victims (n = 186). Offenses were categorized in two groups for analysis—financial/economic offenses and non-financial/economic offenses, hence two models in a binary logistic regression analysis. The results indicate that the extent of financial loss predicts the crime reporting behavior for victims of financial offenses. Those with a higher level of the perceived probability of being victimized by a violent crime were more likely to have notified the authorities of their victimization. Applicable for non-financial crimes only, the level of income has an inverse association with a decision to invoke the law. The relationship of a victim to an offender predicted a decision to contact the authorities—cases in which the offender was identified as a stranger were less likely to be reported to the law enforcement authorities than cases in which the offender had not been identified. No socio-demographic variable has a predictive capacity for either crime category. In addition, as the main motives for not mobilizing the law, almost half of the cases have been resolved in between the offender and victims, such as through compensation. The findings have several theoretical implications for white-collar crime literature. Suggestions for further research, as well as the limitations, are discussed toward the end of the paper.

“…A study of FSU immigrants and the veteran population in Israel conducted by Al-Haj and Leshem (2000) found significant differences in attitudes to white-collar crime including giving and taking a bribe, where FSU immigrants showed higher tolerance for white-collar criminals. Leshem and Ne ´eman-Haviv (2013) examined perception of bribes and other white-collar crimes among immigrants from the FSU who had lived in Israel for an average of 10 years or more. Their study revealed a relationship between integration of immigrants and their tolerance for crime: The more involved immigrants were in Russian culture, and the more alienated they were from Israeli society, the more tolerant they were toward white-collar crime.…”

The Impact of Acculturation on Immigrants’ Business Ethics Attitudes

This study explores to what extent immigrants adopt the business ethical attitudes of their host country and/or maintain those of their country of origin. For countries that have significant immigration, acculturation is an important social issue. An immigrant's acculturation is influenced through the ability to adapt his/her ''ethical culture of origin'' by integrating it with the host country's ethical culture. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of the role of acculturation on immigrant's ethical attitudes. What happens to individuals, who have developed in one cultural context, when they attempt to live in a new cultural context? Three groups were the object of this study: (1) native students of business administration in Israel, (2) students of business administration in the Ukraine and (3) business students in Israel who had emigrated from the Ukraine. Samples of these student populations allowed the study of acculturation effects on the immigrants as they acclimated to Israeli society. Results showed that students living in the Ukraine had the lowest ethical attitudes, followed by Ukraine immigrants in Israel. Israeli-born students had significantly higher ethical attitudes than either of the two Ukrainian groups. Accordingly, the ethical perceptions of immigrant students showed that they were influenced by both their home and host cultures. According to Berry's (Appl Psychol Int Rev 46(1): 5-68, 1997) model of acculturation strategies, integration was their preferred strategy. The implications of these results and guidelines for further research are suggested.
