Individuals’ awareness of moral issues is an important first step in the ethical decision-making process. Relying on research in social cognition and business ethics, we hypothesized that moral awareness is influenced by issue-related factors (magnitude of consequences of the moral issue and issue framing in moral terms) and social contextrelated factors (competitive context and perceived social consensus that the issue is ethically problematic). The hypotheses were tested in a field experiment involving 291 competitive intelligence practitioners. Results generally supported the hypotheses. Qualitative analysis yielded additional insights into the content of respondents’ moral awareness.
