  • Víctor Hugo Robles Francia Universidad Autónoma del Estado de Hidalgo
Keywords: Moral judgment competence, business administration students, bureaucrats.

Abstract

This investigation presents the results of the moral judgment competence, by means of the evaluation of the index C, between two roles and two different contexts, that of students of business administration and that of bureaucrats. The results showed a minor value of the index C of the bureaucrats compared with the value of the students, which it implies that the role and the public organizational context influence negatively the value of the index C.
