Abstract
This study examined the influence of personality traits, moral courage, and organizational climate on ethical decision making among the bank employees in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Data for the study were collected from a cross-sectional survey of bank employees working in various categories of banks - local private, local government-linked and foreign banks operating in Kota Kinabalu. Self-administered study questionnaires were distributed to potential respondents through direct contact with the respondents at their workplace. At the end of the survey period, a total of 141 responses were obtained. Data were analyzed using SPSS to generate factor analysis and regression analyses. The results showed that the level of ethical decisionmaking among the bank employees in Kota Kinabalu is moderate (mean=3.36 based on a 5-point Likert scale). Moral courage and organizational climate showed positive and significant influences on ethical decision-making while no significant results were obtained for personality traits. Results from hierarchical regression showed that the moderating effects of gender and age are not significant. Implications of the findings and study limitations were discussed. Suggestions for future research related to ethical decision making are also provided.
