Abstract

Peer reporting is becoming an important mechanism to control unethical behavior within an organization. This study examined the effect of ethical judgment on peer reporting. The results show that an individual’s ethical ideology (Idealism) significantly predicted peer reporting judgment, and peer reporting judgment tends to give birth to peer reporting intention. Moreover, locus of control was found to significantly moderate the relationship between peer reporting judgment and peer reporting intention.
