ABSTRAK
Ideologi etis merupakan hal yang sangat penting di dalam proses pembentukan sikap mahasiswa-mahasiswa yang merupakan calon pemimpin dalam institusi bisnis dan politik. Salah satu cara untuk meningkatkan ideologi etis mahasiswa adalah mendidik mereka melalui pembelajaran Etika Bisnis dan Profesi. Para pemimpin dengan iedologi etis yang kuat akan bertindak demi kepentingan organisasi secara keseluruhan; sebaliknya, para pemimpin dengan ideologi etis yang lemah cenderung memaksimalkan kepentingan mereka sendiri dan mengorbankan kepentingan organisasi. Banyak ahli meyakini bahwa orang-orang dewasa muda tidak dapat diberikan pendidikan etika karena mereka sudah memiliki nilai-nilai yang stabil. Namun demikian, banyak penelitian yang menemukan bahwa orang-orang dewasa muda dapat meningkatkan nilai-nilai etis mereka melalui pembelajaran di institusi pendidikan tinggi. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui apakah ideologi etis dapat ditingkatkan melalui proses pembelajaran Etika Bisnis dan Profesi. Data penelitian ini diperoleh dari para mahasiswa kelas Etika Bisnis dan Profesi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa melalui proses pendidikan, para mahasiswa dapat meningkatkan ideologi etis mereka secara signifikan.
