A. Singhapakdi et Sj. Vitell, PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL VALUES UNDERLYING THE ETHICAL JUDGMENTS OF MARKETERS, Journal of business ethics, 12(7), 1993, pp. 525-533
This study explores the relative influences of two levels of value ori
entations, personal values and professional values, underlying the eth
ical judgments of marketing practitioners. The data were obtained from
a mail survey of the American Marketing Association's professional me
mbers. The results generally indicate that a marketer's ethical judgme
nts can be partially explained by his/her personal and professional va
lues.
