The moral development theory developed by Kohlberg et al. (1983) has been often cited in empirical studies of the business ethics in recent years. A lot of psychological researches which measure manager's moral reasoning level by using this theory have been accumulated mainly in the U.K. and U.S.A. However, Kohlberg's theory is treated as if it had evident validity, and then little investigations into the meta-ethical assumption of the theory have been done in these researches. In this paper we'll verify imperfection of the moral development theory while referring to the stage theory of communication competence proposed by Habermas (1979), and revise the diagram of moral development stages. As a result, we could get the model that reconstructs more reasonably the developmental situation of managers' moral judgments in the application to the business ethics research. In the latter half we'll illustrate how the validity of the moral reasoning of the management in a certain case is evaluated according to the new model of moral development.
