Abstract
The present study is part of a much larger study that examined the ethics of bribery and the ethics of tax evasion from a variety of perspectives. In this study, data were taken from the most recent World Values Survey. The main demographic variable examined in this chapter was religion. It focuses on Hindu views on the ethics of accepting a bribe. Overall, 61.8% believed that accepting a bribe in the course of business was never justifiable, while only 1.6% thought it was always justifiable. Marital status was a significant variable. The group least opposed to bribe taking was the separated group, and the group most strongly opposed to bribe taking was the widowed group. Several other comparisons also had significant differences in mean scores. Members of the upper social class were significantly least opposed to bribe taking than were members of the other classes. Education, gender, age, income level, the degree of happiness, position on the political spectrum, confidence in the government, sector of employment, and employment status were not significant variables.
