Abstract

Given the increasing concern on ethical issues in China, the purpose of this study is to identify the determines of moral judgment. They are perceived moral intensity, moral maturity, and moral ideology. A sample survey was conducted in Shanghai, China, which involved 110 domestic and foreign managers who had pursued their MBA degree. Qualitative comparative analysis was applied in data analysis. The results demonstrate that relativism is negatively related to moral judgment, but when managers’ perceived moral intensity or level of moral development is high enough, or idealism is high enough, managers tend to make moral judgment. Asymmetrically, even if managers’ idealism is higher than relativism, and their level of moral development is not low, their low perceived moral intensity is very likely to lead to immoral judgment.
