Which factor is NOT listed as part of the Influences on Ethics model?

The influences on ethics model looks at how different forces shape ethical decision making: how intense or consequential the ethical issue is (ethical issues intensity), the person’s own characteristics (individual factors like values and moral development), and the surrounding context of the organization (organizational factors such as culture and ethics programs). Personal responsibility is not listed as a separate influence in this framework; it’s a personal obligation that affects behavior but isn’t treated as one of the influence categories in this model. So, personal responsibility is the factor that does not fit the listed components of this model.
