摘要：A convenience sample of 690 business employees completed a 30-item, three-section IS ethics questionnaire, 129 in the western USA, 176 in Oman, 215 in South Korea, and 170 in Bolivia. Section 1 concerned employee use of employer IS resources for personal entertainment; section 2 concerned employee use of employer IS resources for the gain of self, family, or friends; and section 3 concerned employer monitoring of employee use of employer IS resources. Statistically significant differences occurred on 29 items across all sections; 23 represented differing degrees of commitment but overall agreement on the ethicality of a behavior; 6 represented disagreement regarding the ethicality of a behavior. Of the 6 disagreements, 2 were in section 1 and concerned after-hours use of IS resources, and 4 were in section 3 and concerned giving prior notice when monitoring employees. All samples tended to favor the employer over the employee, though less in section 3 than in sections 1 and 2. Section 3 generated the greatest differences among the samples. Bolivia and Oman showed the most agreement with the other cultures. The US and South Korean samples showed the least agreement, clustering with each other in pairwise comparisons on only two items, both in section 2. The US sample was most employer-centric on 23 items, and the South Korean sample was most employee-centric on 20 items.
