Also, those in an experienced fairness justice condition made significantly more ethical decisions. The gainloss framing did not significantly influence ethical decisions. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png The International Journal of Organizational Analysis Emerald Publishing
