Abstract

This study examines how religious upbringing and adult religiosity affect the ethical perceptions of accounting students in a variety of business settings and poses questions regarding the pedagogical implications of findings. The study uses survey data collected from graduate and upper-level undergraduate accounting students to answer the question, does religious upbringing or adult religiosity affect one’s willingness to judge questionable business behavior as being unethical?
