Information technologies (IT) have spread throughout all areas of modern society. However, the evolution of ethics that guide their use lags behind technological advances [2]. A promising approach to this problem involves identifying factors associated with ethical decision-making in an IT context. This study tests a model of ethical decision-making based on the argument that an individual?s perception of ethical issues inherent in a specific situation is fundamental to the decision-making process, and is shaped by the moral intensity of the situation [1]. Findings suggest that moral intensity: is influenced by the individual?s personal moral philosophy, age, gender, and religiosity; and subsequently influences various stages of the decision-making process. Results support the use of the moral intensity model of ethical decision-making in IT contexts, and suggest the need to further explore antecedents of the ethical decision-making process.
