AbstractManagerial decisions involving complex tradeoffs were examined using a scenariobased survey instrument, developed from the Kinston's work on ethical choice. Respondents indicated the extent to which each of seven ethical considerations would effect their decisions. Four considerations were end‐oriented (teleo‐logical): rationalist, experientialist, systemicist, transcendentalist, and three means‐oriented (deontological): conventionalist, individualist, and legitimist The data suggest that three strong bi‐polar factors with opposing teleological with deontological considerations underlie ethical decision styles. Extensions from the research are also discussed.
