Enpowering information technology (IT) has revealed new dimention of ethical behavior. There are contradictions in prior research result about ethics in using IT, especially in academic scheme. Some researchers concluded that there are no different ethical behavior between IT students and general students (non-IT program) because IT could self-learned. However, other researchers concluded that there is different ethical behavior among individual who has higher IT knowledge and individual who has no or little IT knowledge. this research analyzes moral intensity and ethics in IT students and business students. There are two results from this research, they are: first, there is different perception toward ethical on IT between IT students and accounting students. Both of sample groups dissagree with unethical behavior but in different level. IT students has higher level of dissagreement of unethical on IT than accounting studens; second, unethical behavior on IT has influenced by moral intensity. These results imply that higher education intitution has important role to direct ethical behavior of their students. |
