In my previous post,<\/a> I talked about \u00a0my survey, the creation of it, distribution, and selection bias. My research goal was to determine how effective business ethics classes are and to see if there is a correlation between effectiveness and gender. However, I figured out a way to address the issue.\u00a0Because\u00a0<\/em>my survey was specifically targeted towards students that have taken\/are taking business ethics classes, I decided to take my survey directly to students that are in the class.<\/p>\n

\"Student-Survey\"<\/p>\n

Initially I wanted to ask them to take it online, but I realized that not many would do that and there would be self-selection bias<\/a>. So to fix the problem with that, I printed my surveys and asked people in my class and the class after if they could take my survey. I was unable to pass out my survey during class, but I used the time before both classes started to gather my random sample. Although I only had a sample size of 25, I believe that I was able to acquire valuable data that could sufficiently represent the target population.<\/p>\n

However, after collecting the surveys back, I found it interesting when my business ethics professor blatantly told me that the results were going to show that business ethics classes are\u00a0ineffective.\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

His response made me wonder why he didn’t attempt to better improve the structure of the class. I could possibly research business ethics class professors’ incentive to teach and see if there may be a correlation? Another explanation could be that my professor is simply does not want to change the original structure of his class.<\/p>\n

My sample size consisted of 18 males and only 7 females. This is a result of the business school and most business classes having a majority males than females since the business school is predominately. This connects to some of the other research papers about gender inequality on college campuses.<\/p>\n

I will disclose the survey results in a later post! I’m excited to uncover the trends that relate with gender and ethics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
