Abstract
Research has sought to better understand the antecedents of ethical decision-making, especially in businesses. Yet, researchers found no clear relationship between religion or religiosity and ethics. This study contributes to research on religiosity and ethics by examining the impact of religiosity on business ethics among university students. Using a sample of Protestant and Catholic students, we investigate how individual religiosity shapes perceptions of three unethical behaviors: misuse, exchange of favors, and deceit. Findings show that individual religiosity matters in how different scenarios of unethical conduct are perceived. We identify similarities and differences between Protestant and Catholic individuals depending on ethical behavior.

Résumé
La recherche a tenté à mieux comprendre les antécédents de la prise de décision éthique, particulièrement chez les entreprises. Cependant, les chercheurs n’ont pas trouvé de lien clair entre religion ou religiosité et l’éthique. Cette étude contribue aux recherches sur la religiosité et l’éthique en examinant l’impact de la religiosité sur l’éthique des affaires chez des étudiants universitaires. Utilisant un échantillon d’étudiants protestants et catholiques, nous examinons comment la religiosité influence les perceptions de trois comportements non éthiques : l’abus, l’échange de faveurs et la tromperie. Nous montrons que la religiosité individuelle influence la perception des différents scénarios de conduite contraire à l’éthique. Nous identifions des similitudes et des différences entre les individus protestants et catholiques selon leur comportement éthique.

Resumen
La investigación trata de entender los antecedentes de la toma de decisiones éticas, particularmente en el ámbito empresarial, sin hallar una relación clara entre la religión o religiosidad y la ética. Por consiguiente, este estudio contribuye examinando el impacto de la religiosidad en la ética empresarial. A partir de una muestra de estudiantes universitarios protestantes y católicos, investigamos sobre la influencia de la religiosidad individual en las percepciones de tres conductas antiéticas: el abuso, el intercambio de favores y el engaño. Los resultados muestran que la religiosidad individual influye en la percepción de estos escenarios. Identificamos similitudes y diferencias entre protestantes y católicos según su comportamiento ético.
