“…Moral philosophy is a framework used by individuals to decide on an ethical dilemma, and it influences individuals' ethical decision-making process (Forsyth & Nye 1990;Forsyth 1992;Barnett et al, 1996). According to Forsyth (1980) relativism and idealism are the two basic dimensions of personal moral philosophies that have a profound impact on business ethical decisions.…”

This paper aimed to examine whistleblowing in point of individual level. Three sets of hypotheses were developed concerning the relationships between (1) religiosity and ethical ideology, (2) ethical ideology and intentions to different modes of whistleblowing, and (3) religiosity and intentions to different modes of whistleblowing. Descriptive statistics, Correlation matrix, and regression analysis were used to analyze the data. The sample includes 323 teachers in Turkey. The results confirmed that religiosity was negatively associated with relativism, and positively associated with idealism while they rejected any relation between the ethical ideology and intention to whistleblowing modes. The results confirmed only the positive relationship between religiosity and internal whistleblowing, while rejecting the other hypotheses. Few studies have investigated the relationship between whistleblowing modes and ethical ideology. Therefore, examining religiosity, ethical ideology, and whistleblowing in an education context in Turkey, this paper believed to contribute the literature with regard to Islamic perspective.

“…Most of the previous studies (Barnett et al, 1994;Forsyth & Nye, 1990;Lin & Ding, 2003;Trevino, 2007) suggested that a relationship exists between ethical ideologies and academic misconduct. Cohen et al (2001) suggested that the ethical behaviour of an individual with low relativism was worse than that of the individual with a high idealism score.…”

“…Barnett et al, 1994;Forsyth & Nye, 1990;Lin & Ding, 2003;Trevino, 2007) pointed to mixed results in their investigation of the relationship between ethical ideologies and ethical behaviours. Lin and Ding's (2003) findings indicated that ethical ideologies of students would diverge according to differences in their idealism and relativism scores.…”

“…Most models of ethical decision-making have found that individuals who judge an action to be highly ethical are more likely to form behavioural intention to perform that action (Ajzen, 1991;Hunt & Vitell, 1986). Forsyth and Nye's (1990) findings suggest that idealists are strongly concerned for the welfare of others, and hence they are likely to assess the possible damage unethical behaviour may cause to others, and to consider behaviour highly unethical if it has the potential to harm the entire organisation (Stone et al, 2010). Forsyth and Berger (1982) found that relativists believe that it is impossible to make accurate ethical judgments regarding the behaviour of others without knowing all the specific circumstances, and hence people are less likely to judge academic integrity harshly.…”

This conceptual paper studies the application of the Theory of Planned Behavior (TBP) in academic dishonesty with the mediating variable of ethical ideologies. The study reviews literature on the Theory of Planned Behavior and past studies pertaining to academic dishonesty. The paper analyses the relationship of the variables of TPB on academic dishonesty with ethical ideologies. A conceptual research framework is presented; it provides insight into predicting and understanding how academic dishonesty can occur. The framework suggests that ethical ideology is significantly strengthened by the application of TPB in understanding and predicting how academic dishonesty occurs. Given that ethical ideology provides guidance in judging right and wrong, duty, obligation and moral responsibility, it is an appropriate tool for the researcher, who needs better understanding to diagnose the influences of ethical ideology on unethical behaviour.
