The Ethical Beliefs and Attitudes of Registered Valuers in New Zealand

Abstract

This study examines the ethical and moral beliefs held by registered valuers in New Zealand. A self-administered survey questionnaire was utilised to measure the five constructs concerned with Deceit, Fraud, Coercion, Self-interest and Influence Dealing. Significant differences between respondent’s beliefs and attitudes were measured based upon variances in age, valuation experience, education and type of employment. Respondents who indicated they held Public Liability Insurance were more tolerant of unethical behaviour than those without such insurance. Additionally, respondents who had taken a professional ethics course were more tolerant of fraudulent behaviour, suggesting that professional ethics courses are not achieving their desired result.
