Description
Summary:This study sought to understand the evaluations of business students about social and environmental management in three dimensions (importance of knowledge in the field, importance of practice in the field, and future intentions of involvement with the field) and their relationship with personal values (selected dimensions were anthropocentric conservatism and perception of domination over nature). The initial propositions are that there would be a negative relationship between dimensions of personal values with the evaluation of the importance and intentions of involvement in social and environmental management. The authors conducted a field study with data collected from 193 undergraduate students in Business Administration from the states of Ceara, Paraiba, and Rio de Janeiro. It was found that there was a negative relationship between anthropocentric conservatism and business students' evaluations about the importance of social and environmental management in the Business Administration course and their interest in the field in the future.
