“…We could argue that this may have occurred because of the special characteristics of state-owned firms in China. After 2000, the Chinese government actually permitted officials previously in charge of the economy prior to the reform to become shareholders in partially privatized, state-owned firms (Bian, Davis, and Galaskiewicz, 2005 Women are more likely to exhibit "helping" behavior (Eagly and Crowley, 1986); vote based on social issues (Goertzel, 1983); score more highly on "integrity tests" (Ones and Viswesvaran, 1998); take stronger stances on ethical behavior (Glover et al, 1997;Reiss and Mitra, 1998); and behave more generously when faced with economic decisions (Eckel and Grossman, 1998).(p. 423) marketing positions of both high and low ranks.…”

provide their excellent research assistance. We graciously acknowledge the financial support from the third phase of Projects "211" and "985" at Xi'an Jiaotong University. All remaining errors are our own. ABSTRACTWe study gender discrimination in hiring markets by sending 19,130 fictitious matched resumes in response to professional employment advertisements posted on major Internet employment boards in China for positions such as engineers, accountants, secretaries, and marketing professionals in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Wuhan, and Chengdu. Our results show that, in general, stateowned firms tend to prefer male applicants. Foreign and private firms tend to prefer female applicants.On one hand, this evidence supports the hypothesis that economic reform and the market economy may mitigate gender discrimination. On the other hand, this evidence is consistent with statistics that describe discrimination based on gender segregation and information asymmetry that originated with higher ratios of female workers in foreign and private firms. With respect to regional income disparity, we find that the differences in gender discrimination between first-and second-tier cities are not significant. This result indicates that economic reform exerts limited mitigation effect on discrimination. We also find no evidence of taste discrimination based on traditional son preference in China.JEL: J71, O12

“…We used a hypothetical, realistic vignette (Appendix A) to place respondents into a realistic, ethical context. This approach in ethics research is not only commonplace (Glover et al, 1997;Hunt and Vitell, 1986), but is urged (Hunt and Vitell, 1993). Qualitative interviews were used to validate the vignette used.…”

Public Versus Private Sector Procurement Ethics and Strategy: What Each Sector can Learn from the Other

The government purchasing market constitutes the largest business sector in the world. While marketers would benefit from a deep understanding of both sectors, how the two sectors differ in terms of ethics and strategy largely remains unknown. The purpose of this research, therefore, is to explore differences between the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors on two critical aspects of business-to-business procurement, ethics and strategy. Using survey data from a sample of 328 procurement professionals in the for-profit and not-for-profit sectors, key differences are explored. Findings suggest that buyers in the for-profit sector are more likely to behave opportunistically. Conversely, the buyers' leaders in the not-for-profit sector behave more opportunistically and are more willing to turn a blind eye to their subordinate buyers' opportunistic behaviors. Additionally, key differences in procurement strategy are unveiled suggesting that not-for-profit procurement practices have some room for improvement. Based on the findings, theoretical and managerial implications are drawn, and a future research agenda is proposed.

“…The theory is based on the idea that the aging of the organism itself has an impact on individuals' criminal behavior (for an overview see ). Evidence about gender differences can also be found in helping behavior (see, e.g., Eagly and Crowley 1986) or ethical decision making (Ford et al 1994, Glover et al 1997and Reiss and Mitra 1998.…”

Abstract:In recent years the topic of corruption has attracted a great deal of attention. However, there is still a lack of empirical evidence about the determinants of corruption at the micro level. Therefore we explore in detail the impact of political interest using three different proxies. Furthermore, investigation of the effects of political interest on corruption has been neglected in the present literature. We address this deficiency by analyzing a cross-section of individuals, using the World Values Survey to explore the determinants of corruption using not only perceived corruption as a dependent variable, but also the justifiability of corruption. In addition, we present empirical evidence at both the cross-country level and at the within country level. The results of the multivariate analysis suggest that political interest has an impact on corruption, when controlling for additional significant factors such as institutional conditions (e.g., voice and accountability).JEL classification: K420, D720, O170, J240
