Abstract

Our paper proposes an aggregate score that can be used to capture the profile of chief executive officers for signaling the propensity of unethical behavior. Based on prior research, our proposed score aggregates thirteen aspects across seven dimensions of the profile of chief executive officers; including reputation, financial expertise, internal power, age, gender, marital status, personalities from dark triad (Machiavellianism, psychopathy, narcissism). Our findings are based on the literature and suggest that having a general assessment of the profile of chief executive officers could signal the presence of unethical behavior in business environment. Future studies can examine empirically if our composite score can signal efficiently as proxies for unethical behavior via earnings management or fraud.
