The development of four-partite integration ethics scale

Abstract

Drawing on other ethics scales which are grounded in virtue, deontology, utilitarianism and justice principles, we developed a four-partite integration ethics scale. Other ethics scales emphasized on people classification according to their beliefs based on criterion used to make ethical decision and the ethicality of decisions. We suggested that our four-partite integration ethics scale could provide a complimentary role in terms of rules to follow; utilitarianism endow with cost benefit analysis to bestow justice in dealing business with virtuous characters. The integration enables for the expansion of scope and understanding of ethical analyses in order to help business people to solve specific problems in specific situation and context in volatile business environment; in which widely open to constraints and complexities.
