Individual Characteristics and Attitudes toward Computer Use Ethics: Evidence from Malaysia
The research investigates the extent to which individual characteristics is related to their attitudes toward computer use ethics. The research used a cross-sectional survey approach. A total of 550 responses were collected from academic staffs and students in an institution of higher learning in Malaysia. Our findings indicate that individual characteristics consisting of individuals value for Islamic work ethics and level in organizational hierarchy are linked to attitudes toward ethical computer use. However, there was no support to suggest that attitudes toward ethical computer use are related to gender. This research should contribute significantly in the area of business ethics and Management Information Systems courses for both undergraduate and postgraduate business programs. The fact that individual characteristics contribute significantly in the ethical use of computers may lead to better insights into computer misuse and allow better preventive measures that can be taken by organizations through ethics and Management Information Systems curriculum in business education.
