Summary/Abstract: A new concept for the study of the level of moral development was proposed, based on a combination of Kohlberg’s moral development theory and Schwartz’s value theory. The study involved 1,385 students of management and related fields from Poland, Bulgaria, Italy, Taiwan and the United States. Two factors have been studied that significantly differentiate individuals from the point of view of moral development, namely the country of origin and the declared level of religiosity. Research shows that students from Central and Eastern European countries are at a lower level of moral development than those from developed countries. In addition, people who declare a higher religiosity are at a higher level of moral development than those who declare lower religiosity. At the same time, there were no differences in the level of moral development between those who declare themselves religious and those who declare that they are not religious.
