“…For example, Liyanarachchi and Newdick (2009) proved that the higher the individual's level of moral reasoning, the more likely s/he is to do the right thing. In addition to moral reasoning, both contextual and individual factors, such as religious and ideal values (Barnett et al, 1996;Sims & Keenan, 1999) are the possible influences on an individual's decision to blow a whistle.…”

“…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.…”

“…As mentioned above, studies (Barnett et al, 1996;Nayir & Herzig, 2012) have explored the relationship between ethical ideology and intention to blow a whistle. They concluded that ethical philosophies affect individual's ethical judgments and behavioral intentions to whether or not to engage in the practice.…”

“…Researchers have tried to develop adequate definitions of religiosity and religious belief, but a precise definition is lacking (Barnett et al, 1996). Although religiosity is defined in terms of three distinct components such as knowing, feeling (effect), and doing, Allport (1967, as cited in Singhapakdi et al, 2000, p. 308) suggested that religiousness is as a personal practice of religion.…”

“…Furthermore, Toker-Gökçe (2013b) explored teachers' attitudes to whistleblowing in relation with their values. This study builds upon studies by Barnett et al (1996), Nayir and Herzig (2012), and Toker-Gökçe (2013b), and aims to examine the relationship between the two concepts (religiosity and ethical ideology), and intention for whistleblowing. As studies suggested close relationships between religion and attitudes, this study is expected to contribute to the literature addressing an important question about whistleblowing.…”

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.

This exploratory study evaluates the ethical considerations related to employees fi red for their blogging activities. Specifi cally, subject evaluations of two employee-related blogging scenarios were investigated with established ethical reasoning and moral intensity scales, and a measure of corporate ethical values was included to assess perceptions of organizational ethics. The fi rst scenario involved an employee who was fi red because of innocuous blogging, while the second vignette involved an employee who was fi red because of work-related blogging. Survey data were collected from employed college students and working practitioners. The fi ndings indicated that the subjects' ethical judgments that fi ring an employee for blogging was unethical were negatively related to unethical intentions to fi re an employee for blogging. Moral intensity was positively related to ethical judgments and negatively related to unethical intentions to fi re an employee for blogging, while individual perceptions of ethical values were negatively associated with unethical intentions. Finally, subjects perceived that terminating an employee for innocuous blogging that did not target an employer was more ethically intense than was fi ring an employee for work-related blogging. The implications of the fi ndings for human resource professionals are discussed, as are the study's limitations and suggestions for future research.

Take me to church: What ministries are of perceived value for attendees from a nonprofit marketing perspective?

Church can mean different things to different people. Whilst the opportunity to hear preaching within a conventional church building has traditionally represented the key driver of church value, other ministries such as contemporary worship music, fellowship with others, and small group bible studies are relevant for church attendance amongst certain church attendees. In addition, these church ministries of perceived value may vary on the basis of whether a church attendee is involved in a ministry role or not and if the church is located within an urban or a regional context. To identify the perceived value of church ministries as perceived by church attendees, data from 8,000 respondents of the Australian 2011 National Church Life Survey were analysed.Although sermons and communion represented the church items of perceived value for both leaders and nonleaders regardless of their location, respondents varied considerably in what they deemed as most important for their church in the future. This study provides theoretical and practical implications for religious nonprofit organisations (e.g., churches) relating to the perceived value of church experiences and provides future research opportunities. Specifically, through appropriate market segmentation, target marketing, and positioning, these organisers can design and promote specific ministries to precise church attendee segments. Although the opportunity to hear a sermon has consistently attracted church attendance (e.g., Stott, 1990;Ward, Pullman, & Rylance, 1883), people may choose to attend church for alternative reasons such as contemporary worship music (Connell, 2005;Goh, 2008) and to participate in social justice aid programmes (Brown, 2009;Nooney & Woodrum, 2002). It has also been consistently found that attending church and/or church-orientated activities can provide an attendee with mental and health benefits (Abbotts, Williams, Sweeting, & West, 2004;Koenig, Ford, George, Blazer, & Meador, 1993) which has driven attendance, particularly for those that are female, married and have health insurance (Aaron, Levine, & Burstin, 2003). Consequently, churches will actively market several church ministries through various forms of media to influence people to attend church (Foster, 2010;Webb, 2012). | Church attendance in AustraliaDespite Australia having some of the largest growing Christian churches worldwide such as Hillsong and Planetshakers, overall church attendance is declining in Australia (Bellamy & Castle, 2004;McCrindle Research, 2014). The number of Australians attending church at least once a month (regularly) has halved from 36% in 1972 to 15% in 2011 (NCLS Research, 2012 | AIMS OF THIS RESEARCHIt is widely acknowledged within the marketing literature that people are heterogeneous (Dibb, Stern, & Wensley, 2002;Kotler, 1980) Chand, 2015;Sanders, 1967).From a nonprofit marketing perspective, identifying what is of perceived value to potential church attendees is essential for religious marketers (e.g., churches) when designing new ministries o...
