Information Technology (IT) is creating serious ethical dilemmas. Increasing numbers of firms are involved in scandals enabled by IT and related computer based-technologies. This study investigates the factors of gender, age, career stage, education and ethics training on the cognitive moral development of IT professionals, as measured by the Defining Issues Test (DIT-2). Based on previous literature, this study utilizes Kohlberg's Theory of Cognitive Moral Development (TCMD). The study fills a gap in the literature on the interrelationships among the determinant variables that influence an individual s ethical choices by providing additional direction for future research. Future research will include the replication of this study with larger samples over different regions, as well as, investigating other factors of interest to determine possible significance with the level of cognitive moral development as measured by the P-score from the DIT-2 instrument. Determining the significant factors that measure the level of cognitive moral development of IT professionals provides an important baseline for future ethics-based research within the IT industry.

Professionalism is arguably more important in some occupations than in others. It is vital in some because of the life and death decisions that must be made, for example in medicine. In others the rapidly changing nature of the occupation makes efficient regulation difficult and so the professional behaviour of the practitioners is central to the good functioning of that occupation. The core idea behind this book is that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is changing so quickly that professional behaviour of its practitioners is vital because regulation will always lag behind.

The target audience for this book is any IT professional responsible for designing, configuring, deploying or managing information systems. This audience understands that the purpose of ethics in information security is not just morally important; it equals the survival of their business. A perfect example of this is Enron. Enron's ultimate failure due to a glitch in the ethics systems of the business created the most infamous example of an ethics corporate breakdown resulting in disaster. Ethics is no longer a matter of morals anymore when it comes to information security; it is also a matter of success or failure for big business. * This groundbreaking book takes on the difficult ethical issues that IT professional confront every day. * The book provides clear guidelines that can be readily translated into policies and procedures. * This is not a text book. Rather, it provides specific guidelines to System Administrators, Security Consultants and Programmers on how to apply ethical standards to day-to-day operations.

Ethics and Technology, 5th Edition, by Herman Tavani introduces students to issues and controversies that comprise the relatively new field of cyberethics. This text examines a wide range of cyberethics issues--from specific issues of moral responsibility that directly affect computer and information technology (IT) professionals to broader social and ethical concerns that affect each of us in our day-to-day lives. The 5th edition shows how modern day controversies created by emerging technologies can be analyzed from the perspective of standard ethical concepts and theories.

An introduction to the social and policy issues which have arisen as a result of IT. Whilst it assumes a modest familiarity with computers, the book provides a guide to the issues suitable for undergraduates. In doing so, the author prompts students to consider questions such as: * How do morality and the law relate to each other? * What should be covered in a professional code of conduct for information technology professionals? * What are the ethical issues relating to copying software? * Is electronic monitoring o employees wrong? * What are the moral codes of cyberspace? Throughout, the book shows how in many ways the technological development is outpacing the ability of our legal systems, and how different paradigms applied to ethical questions often proffer conflicting conclusions. As a result, students will find this a thought-provoking and valuable survey of the new and difficult ethical questions posed by the Internet, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality.
