Abstract

The aims of the study is to test empirically the effect of narcissism and empathy in accounting students' ethical decisions. Narcissism is a behavior that shows a very high self-love. Narcissism in this study used The Phares and Erskine Cells Test developed by Phares and Erskine (1984). Empathy is a person's ability to understand the needs of others and society. The study used accounting students in the city of Padang. In determining the effect of narcissism and empathy in decision making, researchers used the case used by Frank (2004). This study uses independent-samples t-test to determine differences in the level of narcissism and empathy in accounting and management students in making ethical decisions. The results showed that there was no difference in the level of narcissism between accounting and management students, but there were differences in the level of empathy between accounting and management students in making ethical decisions. This research is expected to contribute to ethical decision making among accounting students in later work practices.
