First phase
The first phase indicates the relationship between individual factors
and the development of the individual’s ethical system (that is, the
individual’s ethical philosophy – as outlined in Boshoff’s holistic-
philosophical model of ethical decision-making, as well as the
individual’s ethical behaviour). This phase encompasses the manner
in which the individual’s ethical beliefs are influenced by personality
and socialisation.
According to Stead et al. (1994:59) three personality measures may
influence ethical behaviour, namely ego strength, Machiavellianism
and locus of control. Hume et al. (2006:56) add that locus of control
has a significant influence on ethical behaviour. With regards to
socialisation, Stead et al. (1994:59) indicate that factors such as
age, work experience, nationality, sex role differences, and religious
beliefs may influence ethical behaviour.
