Abstract: "Objective � This research aims to investigate the influence of the love of money and greed on the individual�s ethical sensitivity. Methodology/Technique � The samples used are 50 students of accounting from Jember University. Path analysis is used to test the hypotheses. Findings � The results show that there is an influence of the Love of Money on Greed. Theoretically, when one has fulfilled one�s primary needs, one is able to survive. But human beings are not easily satisfied thus, they would always want to gain more. A person who loves money would be glad when he/she owns money since the person thinks that money can give him/her the comforts of life and the money that he/she has, can be used in whatever way he/she prefers. Novelty � Unlike previous studies, this study looks at the topic from the Islamic perspective. "
