The research instruments included Kasol (2003) Ethical Decision Making Questionnaire and Rokic (2010) Modified Social Values Questionnaire. For the validity of the instrument from the point of view of experts and their reliability, Cronbach's alpha method was 0.84 and 0.89, respectively. Descriptive statistics with Spss24 software and inferential structural equation modeling method in Spss24 and Amos26 software were used to analyze the data.
