Os recentes colapsos morais e financeiros de organizações outrora reputadas conduzem à necessidade de formas de liderança mais íntegras e responsáveis. O presente estudo pretende validar o Moral Competency Inventory (MCI) para a população portuguesa. Este instrumento foi desenvolvido com base na vasta experiência de Doug Lennick e Fred Kiel com líderes de várias empresas, ao perceberem que líderes moralmente competentes demonstravam consistência nos comportamentos e alinhamento de atitudes face aos seus princípios morais, valores e crenças, refletindo-se na organização como um todo. Mais tarde, o MCI foi validado por Martin e Austin (2008), nos EUA, com 171 participantes. A inteligência moral difere das inteligências cognitiva, técnica e emocional porque se refere à capacidade mental com que aplicamos os nossos valores pessoais, objetivos e ações, direcionando-os para o bem. O Inventário é composto por dez dimensões que equacionam as quatro principais valências da inteligência moral: Integridade, Responsabilidade, Compaixão e Perdão. Este estudo exploratório constitui um primeiro teste à validade do constructo em termos de medida. Pretendemos, assim, avaliar as tendências de resultados em termos de qualidades psicométricas do referido instrumento, junto de cerca de 140 líderes. Para tal, os dados foram sujeitos a uma Análise Fatorial Exploratória das componentes principais (rotação Varimax). Os resultados preliminares mostram que a estrutura fatorial resultante vai ao encontro do que é teoricamente previsto. A validação deste instrumento de medida pretende preencher um vazio que existe em Portugal para a avaliação da inteligência moral e possibilitar estudos mais aprofundados na área da liderança.

Psychologist are the representatives of a profession in which a wellbeing of a person is the paramount. Helping activity requires of psychologists to follow not only professional ethics but also moral norms. Not rarely do psychologists face the necessity to consider moral dilemmas connected with the practice of delivering psychological services. In such cases, a psychologist should be able to use not only professional knowledge, but also a moral competency allowing him or her to put in practice the assumptions of autonomous morality which is in agreement with his or her personal and professional identity. It is hard to find formal programs of stimulation of moral competence dedicated directly for psychologists. However, there is a possibility of using Konstanz Method of Dilemma-Discussion (KMDD®) in order to achieve this goal. Konstanz Method of Dilemma-Discussion developed by professor Georg Lind from the University of Konstanz – a student and a critic of L. Kohlberg – is used in many countries all over the world in order to increase the level of moral development by developing moral competency mainly in the area of education. An increasing interest of researchers in the method also results in searching for new possibilities of applications of the method. An example of such application would be an area of psychologists’ work. The article aims to promote the KMDD® method in the course of ethical and professional education and self-development of psychologists.

This study aims to empirically assess the relationship between accounting students' academic performances and moral competencies by focusing on final-year accounting students enrolled at the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM). The students' moral competencies were measured using a scenario-based instrument developed through a collaboration with Islamic accounting scholars, called the Muslim Accountant Moral Competency Test (MAMOC), whilst students' academic performances were measured using their Cumulative Grade Point Averages (CGPAs). Contrary to the expected positive relationship between these two variables, the study found a negative, and insignificant, relationship. The implication of this result is that IIUM's Accounting Department needs to conduct a comprehensive review of the ethical content of its courses and use a more effective strategy of how to more effectively integrate Islamic values into the curriculum. Additionally, institutionalizing a measure of students' moral competencies would enable the department to objectively determine how well it is doing in developing the moral competencies of its students.

Sustainability of society demands diversified and balanced development of one’s personality with morality-based quality of knowledge and skills. This can be achieved by respecting the mission of education, namely, to facilitate integrity of social and personal competencies. The goal of the study is to highlight the understanding of teachers and parents about ethical views and moral competency of the young people. The article reveals views of teenagers about values of people and life, about human beings and their obligations. The study combined the quantitative and qualitative research methods, and included content analysis of research documents, surveys and data of pedagogical observations. Moral opinions expressed by the students in the framework of the study reveal that their views on human beings, their obligations towards themselves and society are superficial and declarative. Knowledge about morality and values is notional; therefore, it does not act as motivation for civic action. Moral competency, which is based on relativism, is not complete.
