Abstract

There is much debate regarding the level of ethical responsibility that a business has to its local community as well as society as a whole. The purpose of this research study was to better understand how Utah workers feel about business ethics and corporate social responsibility. Questions guiding this study include the following: Do businesses have a moral responsibility to protect and provide goods and services that maximize benefit for the community and its citizens as a whole, including its own employees? Are businesses morally obligated solely to their shareholders? Are companies in Utah viewed as active moral agents? Do Utahns believe companies should be active moral agents? Do workers believe religion and religious activity influence the moral value system of employees and employers in Utah? Is there a relationship between an employee’s views of multi-level marketing and their perceptions of business ethics and corporate social responsibility (CSR)?
