Abstract
Using selected intrinsic and extrinsic motivational factors grounded in consequentialism, deontology, and virtue perspectives, an empirical study was conducted on highly educated professionals in the Pittsburgh, PA area. The working business professionals that were targeted for this research were those that the primary investigator has accumulated over time as part of the researcher's LinkedIn™ social network. Many male respondents felt that engaging in sport-related betting within the workplace was more acceptable than their females and tended to feel more utilitarian in their approach to justify such actions. Typically a deontology-based ethical perspective suited males as they felt that sport-related gambling activities had a more positive impact on the emotional state of the office atmosphere and were more willing to become personally less productive and use company resources at work during sporting events.
