Digital Era and Ethical Behavior: A Study of Determination Theory
Abstract
Based on the moral paradigm of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), an organization should encourage individuals to maintain ethical behavior through an internalization process. This study captures the views of police department personnel about unethical behavior, namely corruption, especially corruption in a new digital-normal era. This study measures the internalization level of ethical behavior through salary satisfaction and locus of control. The study uses a questionnaire to reveal the internalization level of ethical behavior and police officers as respondents. Results show that ethical behavior is internalized in intrinsic motivation form. Therefore, this study contributes to a new paradigm of SDT (moral paradigm) and ethical practice by developing the self-belief of an officer in the new digital normal era.
Keywords: digital, new normal, self-determination theory, salary satisfaction, locus of control
