The world continues to witness unethical conducts with dire effects on corporations and nations at large. A more proactive way to minimize such occurrences is to take precautionary action against them and this study provides just that. By investigating the likelihood of the current crop of business students to engage in such unethical conducts at workplace, we take a proactive step towards finding some root causes of these unethical conducts and suggesting measures to mitigate them.
