Ethical Banking Determinants across Nations: A Meta-Analysis
Abstract
Ethical issues in banking practice have become an important aspect that the nations of the world should take into consideration, especially in the light of incessant bank failures with concomitant loss of customers’ deposits. It now becomes imperative to study the determinants of ethical banking in order to create an enabling environment for the practice and sustenance of customers’ confidence. Several studies were analyzed and it was found that leaders’ characteristics, the organizational characteristics and the sales force characteristics have a positive impact on ethical behaviour as well as on job security. Some selected organizational, cognitive and affective dimensions were also found to affect the ethical practices of banks. Relevant recommendations and policy implications were made.Downloads
