While the sample is admittedly small, the results indicate that high tech employees are unwilling to violate general cultural values of safety or to treat third parties unethically, they disapprove of more ethically questionable behaviors than does the general public, and they disapprove more strongly than do randomly selected workers. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
