A two-part questionnaire concerning ethical behavior was prepared and distributed to 300 public school teachers and 75 administrators in the middle geographic region of Tennessee. Part I of the questionnaire asked respondents to position 18 different behaviors on a five-point scale from "ethical" to "very unethical." Part II asked respondents how regularly members of each respondent group (teachers or administrators) practiced the behaviors cited in part I. The behaviors characterized by teachers as least ethical were passing blame for errors to an innocent coworker, stealing from school funds, claiming undeserved credit, and repeating confidential information. The teachers positioned six of the 18 behaviors between "basically unethical" and "very unethical" on the scale. The administrators positioned 10 of the behaviors in this category, listing repeating confidential information, stealing school funds, and blaming others for errors as the least ethical. Both groups considered failing to report others' rule violations and hiring well-qualified family members as the least unethical of the 18 behaviors. Each of the two respondent groups tended to regard the other group as more likely to practice unethical behaviors, but both groups denied that either group practiced these behaviors frequently. (PGD)
