The ratings of moral responsibility the respondents felt toward the 17 distant and proximate stakeholders are presented in Table 4.
The MSIF provides discrete ratings of role responsibility, presence and level of support, and performance quality.
Data on responsibility loadings were elicited and ratings of components of responsibility were collected by mailed self-complete questionnaires [ 9].
Responsibility loadings and ratings of components of responsibility were collected using mailed questionnaires from a random sample of Australian private general practice dentists in 2007 (response rate = 77%).
As shown in Table 3, a MANOVA with the independent variable being respondent type with two levels (business/non-business) and the dependent variable being the mean ratings of importance for responsibility type, indicated that non-business respondents rate philanthropic responsibilities as significantly more important than business respondents: F 1, 397) = 6.59, p = .01, η2 = .02.02
a MANOVA with the independent variable being Gender and the dependent variable being the mean ratings of importance for responsibility type, indicated that that female respondents rated philanthropy as significantly more important than male respondents: F 1, 393) = 14.67, p < .001, η2 = .04.04
There were no significant Nationality X Business/Non-business interactions when Nationality was included as a fixed factor in the MANOVA comparing business and non-business ratings of importance of the responsibilities or ranking of responsibilities.
There were no significant Gender X Business/Non-business interactions when Gender was included as a fixed factor in the MANOVA comparing business and non-business ratings of importance of the responsibilities or ranking of responsibilities.
Overall, ethical and economic responsibilities receive the joint second highest ratings of importance, after legal responsibilities, with female, non-business, UK and US respondents tending to place ethical responsibilities higher than economic responsibilities and male, business and Indian respondents tending to rank ethical and economic responsilities joint second.
The aims of this study were to elicit responsibility loadings for a subset of dental services and to relate responsibility loadings to ratings of importance of the components of responsibility from a representative group of valuers (i.e., dental practitioners).
