Results: in this research, among the six identified barriers (use of quantitative methods, a premium on information that is quantifiable, job insecurity, repetitive decision making, use of work groups or teams and operational priorities), Operational priorities is one of the most important and effective barriers to ethical decision and next one is repetitive decision making.
