Can moral judgement and ethical behaviour be learned? : A review of the literature Available to Purchase

Considers past research undertaken in the area of adult moral and ethics education, in order to establish whether moral judgement and ethical behaviour can be learnt by adults through an education experience. Also seeks to identify those education media which best facilitate learning of good moral behaviour and ethical judgement. Concludes that research to date has not adequately proved the widely assumed link between teaching and learning of moral judgement and ethical behaviour. This link is important, particularly when education is perceived by many to be the best means of developing good moral judgement and ethical behaviour in the modern business environment. Raises a number of additional issues related to the topic and suggests several areas of future research opportunity.
