| Abstract | Purpose: This research investigates the factors impacting moral behavior of undergraduate students in Shangxi, China. The conceptual framework encompasses ethics education, ethical awareness, moral reasoning, moral intent, moral judgment, and moral behavior. Research design, data, and methodology: The population and sample size are 500 undergraduate students in selected three universities in Shangxi, China who have experienced moral education. This study applied quantitative method to distribute questionnaire to collect the data. Sampling techniques were judgmental, quota, and convenience sampling. A pilot test was 50 participants were conducted. The validity was assessed using the item-objective congruence (IOC) index. The data analysis was applied by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM) techniques. Results: While ethics education did not show a significant impact on ethical awareness, it positively influenced moral reasoning. Additionally, moral reasoning, ethical awareness, moral intent, moral judgment, and their interconnected dynamics significantly predicted moral behavior. This implies that individuals with advanced moral reasoning skills, heightened ethical awareness, and strong moral intent and judgment are more likely to engage in ethical behavior. Conclusions: These findings offer valuable insights for both educational practices and theoretical frameworks in understanding and fostering ethical development. |
