• W907039578 abstract "IntroductionChina, the world's most populous country, has been getting considerable attention by academicians, as well as business professionals (Lu, 2008). China is now the world's second largest economy, and it is expected to overtake the United States to become the largest by 2020 (Yao et al., 2012). The success of China in the global economy is well documented (Tang et al., 2010). Over the last couple of decades, it has strategically harvested its pool of cheap labor to be a production powerhouse. However, like other countries, China also has been hit by various ethical scandals. For example, stories of baby milk tainted with melamine and toys with lead paint highlighted major business ethics problems in China (Gallagher, 2009; Lu, 2009). Thus, it is not surprising to see a negative effect on the perceptions of Chinese consumers on ethical behaviors of businesses in China (Taslikis & Fu, 2010).A number of studies have been done recently on business ethics in China. Comegys et al. (2012) compared the attitudes ethics of future managers towards business in the United States, Finland, and China. They found that their attitudes towards business ethics differed by the students' major, class year, GPA, gender, age, and the number of ethics and religious studies courses completed. Deng (2012) , through an in-depth interview on 173 respondents, developed a generalized framework of consumers' responses on ethics that provided a number of insightful suggestions about how to motivate a consumer's support for a firm's ethical behavior and to transfer this kind of support into truly positive purchasing. Fu and Deshpande (2012) found that both caring and independent ethical climate types had a significant positive impact on organizational commitment in a survey of 144 employees working at a Chinese private construction company. Zhou et al. (2011) investigated the current status of economic and business ethics in the fields of teaching, training and research in China, Japan, and Korea through questionnaire surveys, desktop analysis, and personal observation.A business ethics index (BEI) was first proposed by Tsaliks and Seaton (2006) and was developed in order to systematically evaluate consumers' sentiments towards ethical practices of businesses (Tsalikis & Seaton, 2006, 2007). The success of the BEI in the USA spawned its expansion to more than 20 countries, including China in 2006. Tsakilis and Fu (2010), using the same instrument, measured the BEI of China, which showed the BEI in 2009 was 109.8, much lower than in 2006, which was a 117.8. This study will contribute to the existing research by re-examining the BEI of China with an improved questionnaire based on the methods of Tsalikis and Seaton (2006).Study MethodologyThe InstrumentThe BEI questionnaire consists of 4 main questions, which are designed in two dimensions, past-future and personal-vicarious. The first two questions are the same as in the study of Tsalikis and Seaton (2006). However, the last two questions of the future dimension were improved by adding the options from 3 to 5, which are consistent with the first two questions (see Table 1).The responses to the above four questions will be calculated finally according to the following formula. If the result is above 100, it means that the respondents will have a positive attitude towards Chinese enterprises' ethical behavior, while they will have a negative attitude if the result is below 100.(%E-%A) + (%D-%B) +100 (1)According to the above four questions and the formula, we can calculate four sub-indicators, which are BEI (personal/past), BEI (vicarious/past), BEI(personal/future), BEI(vicarious/future) The mean of these four indices is the final BEI value. In order to gather more information, an open question was added to this study, which was Question 5: Please describe one or more examples of unethical behavior that you had experienced or had heard from others or from any other media. …" @default.
