MGT 3020 Business Ethics is one of the university required courses for students of Kulliyyah of
Economics and Management Sciences, International Islamic University Malaysia. Some academics and
students believed that Business Ethics cannot be taught due to many reasons. This study aims to obtain
the views of current Business Ethics students whether they Business Ethics can be taught or otherwise.
The study was conducted on 136 Business Ethics during their respective class time on a specified answer
sheet of a half size of A4 paper. The students’ opinions on the answer sheet were analyzed using content
analysis technique. The findings showed that only 15% (20 out of 136) of Business Ethics students
believed that Business Ethics cannot be taught. They argued that logically people learnt about personal
ethics and business ethics based on the practices that they experienced for instance when they got caught
and penalized. However, majority of the students believed that Business Ethics can be taught based on
theoretical and practical approaches. For future research, the study should be extended to former Business
Ethics who used to learn the course to validate the opinions of current Business Ethics students.
Moreover, the future study also should obtain views from the course instructors of Business Ethics of all
public universities in Malaysia. |
