  • F. Bahar Kurtulmusoglu

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between the ethical sensitivity scores of college students in relation with three focal points: the areas which they want to specialize, their intention about graduate education and the sectors they want to work. The samples are comprised of 740 junior, sophomore and senior business students at various universities located in Ankara, Turkey. The results indicate that there was a significant correlation between ethical sensitivity scores of the business students and the issues such as the areas which they want to specialize, their intention to have graduate degree and the sectors they plan to work.
