This study revolves around the question “Are religious people more likely to experience ethical dilemmas in the workplace? A case study from public and private employees in Singapore” and explores the nexus between religiosity and ethical dilemmas among Singapore’s public and private sector employees. By employing ANCOVA analysis, the study examines in greater detail the extent to which religiosity affects the likelihood of one facing ethical dilemmas in the professional sphere and how personal religious beliefs might influence ethical decision-making. The findings of this paper are crucial as they provide a comprehensive look into how organizations can deal with such situations for their employees given the workplace climate and one’s religious affiliation, by establishing new frameworks or models for individuals who find themselves in such situations.
