Abstract

Presents results of data obtained regarding faculty attitudes concerning the ethical propriety of and estimated faculty involvement with 38 activities. A questionnaire was sent to 480 randomly selected information systems (IS) academicians. Insights into the ethical standards of IS faculty are provided by the data, as well as the indication that a significant minority of faculty are estimated to be involved in most activities contrary to normative standards of ethical conduct, as prescribed by peers. Also identifies several attitudinal differences, based on demographic characteristics of respondents and institutions.
