Popis: This study aims to explore the influence of religiosity, gender and education levels on attitude towards business ethics. Religiosity has long been regarded as the key determinant in shaping ethical values. The well-established scale of Attitude Towards Business Ethics Questionnaire (ATBEQ) was adapted. Religiosity was measured using the Religious Commitment Inventory Scale (RCI-10). There are two dimensions of religiosity – intrapersonal religiosity and interpersonal religiosity. Results showed that intrapersonal religiosity was a significant determinant to attitude towards business ethics but interpersonal religiosity was not. Comparisons were also made across several demographic characteristics with regards to business ethics. There was no significant difference between gender. Significant difference was found in business ethics across different educational levels.
