“…Many scholars offer prescriptive studies attempting to formulate moral norms and determine what ought to be done (Beauchamp et al, 1997; Bonde and Firenze, 2013; Hite et al, 2015; Posner, 1979; Soltani, 2014; Treviño and Nelson, 2011). Even though recent notable studies (e.g., Alexandra et al, 2017; Ast, 2019; Christie et al, 2003; Ermasova et al, 2017; Stahl et al, 2017) provide new dimensions to cross-cultural issues in business ethics research, there are some unexplored areas where researchers need to pay more attention. This study is the first comprehensive review that covers 35 years of research on cross-cultural issues in business ethics.…”

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.

“…Many authors have illustrated the significance of formal ethics education and business ethics training in companies (Bandyopadhyay & Szostek, 2019; Ermasova et al., 2017; Majluf & Navarrete, 2011; Page & Mukherjee, 2007; Paul, 1993; Peach et al., 2007; Remišová et al., 2019; Verbos et al., 2007; Weber, 2015; Wolcott et al., 2002).

This paper aims to analyze how individual differences and ethics‐related programs predict Russian business students and working adults' perception of personal business ethics. This research evaluates the business ethics perceptions based on surveys of 1,207 managers, employees, and business students in Russia. This study finds the significant correlations between individual differences (gender, age, education level, and management experience), ethics‐related programs (business ethics courses taught in universities, ethics and diversity professional development training), and personal business ethics' perceptions of Russian business students and working adults. We also find that individual differences moderate the relationship between ethics‐related programs and how the personal business ethics of Russian business students and working adults are perceived. These findings advance current literature by revealing that age moderates the relationship between ethics‐related programs (formal ethic courses, ethics, and diversity trainings) and personal ethical behavior perceptions of working adults and business students in Russia. Our study found that gender had a significant positive moderating effect on relationship of organizational code of ethics, formal ethic courses, and diversity professional development with personal ethical behavior perceptions. The relation between personal ethical behavior perceptions and the presence of an organizational code of ethics was negative and marginally moderated by age and managerial experience. This study contributes to business ethics research by deepening the understanding of the impact of individual differences on the relationship between ethics‐related programs and personal business ethics' perceptions.

“…An initial round of discovery searching employing these inclusion criteria within expansive publication databases (e.g., EBSCO, Google Scholar) returned several books, book chapters, and journal articles that were relevant for the keywords (e.g., Alexandra et al 2017;AU et al 2010;Barros et al Zhang and Li 2015). This discovery search defined the relevant keywords, identified major studies and scholars contributing to the field, and revealed typical publication sources.…”

“…For example, the constructs of morality has been used to compare Muslim and Christian ethics in Britain and France (Croucher 2011), elderly German and U.S. citizens moral interactions in virtual spaces (Dogruel et al 2013), and Kantian duty violations between individuals in the United States and Korea (An and Trafimow 2014). Likewise beliefs have been cross-investigated with other measures such as social cynicism belief and social dominance orientation between the United States, Russia, and Portugal (Alexandra et al 2017); social beliefs and consumer behavior (Berkín 2018); and Turkish and Kyrgyz students' beliefs and notions of justice (Karadag and Akgün 2016). Figure 3 visualizes the increasing integration of values, beliefs, and morality, with the integrations of these being SWV, MMS, and more.…”

Cross-Cultural Values: A Meta-Analysis of Major Quantitative Studies in the Last Decade (2010–2020)

Since 2010, scholars have made major contributions to cross-cultural research, especially regarding similarities and differences across world regions and countries in people’s values, beliefs, and morality. This paper accumulates and analyzes extant multi-national and quantitative studies of these facets of global culture. The paper begins with a summary of the modern history of cross-cultural research, then systematically reviews major empirical studies published since 2010, and next analyzes extant approaches to interpret how the constructs of belief, morality, and values have been theorized and operationalized. The analysis reveals that the field of cross-cultural studies remains dominated by Western approaches, especially studies developed and deployed from the United States and Western Europe. While numerous surveys have been translated and employed for data collection in countries beyond the U.S. and Western Europe, several countries remain under-studied, and the field lacks approaches that were developed within the countries of interest. The paper concludes by outlining future directions for the study of cross-cultural research. To progress from the colonialist past embedded within cross-cultural research, in which scholars from the U.S. and Western Europe export research tools to other world regions, the field needs to expand to include studies locally developed and deployed within more countries and world regions.
