Abstract: In recent
years, researchers in many organizational disciplines have begun to approach the study of
ethics from a cognitive theoretical framework. This study has investigated the ethical
reasoning of real estate practitioners using Kohlberg's cognitive moral development (CMD)
approach, a potent theoretical concept with a considerable research literature. Using
standardized measures of CMD on groups of Realtors? and controlling for level
of education, the results of this study show that real estate practitioners compare
favorably with other professional and societal groups. Further, when entered independently
CMD was a significant indicator, along with education and experience, of success in real
estate.
