A questionnaire with a Likert scale was designed to measure attitudes toward corruption in the private sector. Following the model of White (2001) regarding the balance and proportion of items, the questionnaire represents cognitive, affective and behavioral components, operationalizing variables while crosschecking between categories that define the relationship between corruption and its emotional, behavioral, and cognitive components. The categories analyzed were marketing, production, administrative, legal, and environmental activities. It is possible to state that people with less formal education show positive attitudes towards corruption, and approval rates decrease as the formal education of entrepreneurs increases, because they increasingly reject corrupt acts and their consequences. It was found that i) 54 out of every 100 entrepreneurs with no formal education approve corrupt behavior, mainly related to marketing processes in their organizations; ii) 40 out of 100 business owners whose businesses have been operating between 0 and 3 months approve of corruption in production processes; iii) 30 out of 100 business owners with secondary educations do not differentiate between corrupt actions and ethical behaviors when implementing administrative models in their companies; and iv) 35 out of 100 business owners do not experience negative emotions when committing unlawful acts or violating business rules. 2017 artículo científico 0124-4639 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=187251252002 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1872/187251252002/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1872/187251252002/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1872/187251252002/187251252002.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1872/187251252002/movil 10.12804/revistas.urosario.edu.co/empresa/a.4682 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1872 Universidad & Empresa application/pdf Universidad del Rosario Universidad & Empresa (Colombia) Num.33 Vol.19 |
