Financial planning advice is becoming increasingly relevant to the economic objectives of Australians. However, the evidence suggests there are numerous ethical risks related to the provision of that advice and other factors that may be influencing the ethical decision making of financial planners and compliance officers in their respective roles.The purpose of this study was to enhance understanding of the ethical decision making of these financial planning participants within this context.

“…The above suggests that travellers sometimes breach the travel policy wilfully, for no obvious reasons. It has also been suggested that the ethical climate of an organisation might be correlated not only to the ethical conduct of employees, but also to a variety of behaviours including counterproductive actions such as tardiness, absenteeism and lax performance (Wimbush & Shepard, 1994). Thus the ethical climate of an organisation may be predictive of both ethical and deviant workplace behaviour (Peterson, 2002).…”

This paper presents the results of the empirical testing of the corporate travel policy compliance model conceptualised by the authors and first published in the Journal of Business Ethics in 2009. In the previous paper the theory underlying the model was explained. This paper follows with the results of the empirical testing of the model and focuses on those related to the influence of personal factors on policy compliance. The constructs used to define personal-related factors include personal ethics, individual morality, self-interest, levels of job-and life satisfaction and the conditions of travel. The empirical investigation sought to determine if personal-related factors significantly influenced travel policy compliance and from the study it could be concluded that there is a correlation, with certain factors exhibiting a stronger correlation than others. The implication is that organisations need to understand the impact of factors previously ignored or under-valued as determinants of non-compliance and take steps to recognise and remedy the situation in order to achieve higher levels of travel policy compliance amongst corporate travellers.

Structural equation analysis with AMOS software utilized to examine the relationships between two-dimension ethical climate and task-focused interpersonal helping behavior. The result shows that a) other-focused moral reasoning ethical climate (OEC) is an important predictor of employees' task-focused interpersonal helping behavior, and b) self-focused moral reasoning ethical climate (SEC) alone is not related with task-focused helping behavior, however, c) when accompany with OEC, SEC become significantly and positively related with taskfocused helping behavior. This finding indicates that OEC plays a very curial role, it works like a kind of catalyzer or guarantee, which not only positive effect the helping behavior by itself, but also can turn SEC positive effect helping behavior.
