Abstract

International experiences have gained increasing attentions by business professionals in the era of business globalization. Business ethics has also received substantial attentions due to those unceasing business scandals and their significant impact on stakeholders. As a result, research on business ethics and international experiences has no doubt brought about a growing attention lately. Nevertheless, little empirical research investigated the association between international experiences and ethical perceptions. Therefore, this study intends to explore the relationships between international experiences and ethical perceptions of business students. A questionnaire survey which takes business students in Taiwan as research subjects was used to probe participants’ ethical perceptions and their international experiences. The Multidimensional Ethics Scales is employed to measure students’ ethical perceptions, and an international experience questionnaire was developed to determine students’ international experiences. The findings reveal significant relationships exist between international experiences and ethical perceptions of business students. The study can promote further understanding of the associations of international experiences and ethical perceptions of future business professionals. Furthermore, the results of the study can help higher education institutions and international businesses to realize the possible impact of international experiences on ethical perceptions for business students.
