Beschreibung:
Labor market studies show that job applicants are naturally inclined to embellish or omit information on their resumes, to gain advantage over other applicants. Religiosity can reveal much about an individual's sense of right and wrong and it has importance as a social force with a foundational role in ethical development. Our objective is to clarify the relationship between personal religiosity and the intentional deceitful presentation of information on resumes, as well as the judgment of situations with ethical content. Our results indicate that religious applicants reported more rigorous moral ethics, manifested by less tolerant attitudes towards unethical and illegal behaviors in comparison to seculars, who, in turn, were associated with decreased tendency to deceive on resumes. We propose explanations for our results based on the theory of planned behavior and perceptions of normative beliefs
