| Sumario: | A study was conducted to organize, critique, and extend research findings on gender differences in business ethics. It focuses on two dependent variables: ethical judgement and behavioral intent. Data were drawn from a literature survey, two benchmark studies undertaken with identical stimuli and identical measures, and a further two studies, using the same measures but different stimuli, conducted as a partial replication and extension of the first two. The subjects involved in these studies were members of student and professional groups. The findings suggest that little difference exists between the genders on behavioral intent for professional groups and only minimal differences for the ethical judgement measures. However, student results generated more substantial differences for behavioral intention.
