Description: This paper is part of a broader research project that explores how distinctions in attitudes around the concept of respect contribute to students’ perceptions of teacher authority and teaching quality in business schools. The data is derived from a survey administered to students in first year accounting subjects in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom. The research question is: does the ethnicity of students affect the qualities and attributes they respect in their teachers? The study finds that the survey responses suggest ethnicity impacts in unexpected ways on the different qualities that students respect in their teachers.
