Abstract

This paper advocates the importance of the emergent concept of organizational ethics, defines it and connects it to scholarly literature in organizational sciences. One of the most important findings is the strongly correlated relationship between ethics and both perceived and measurable organizational performance. The findings validate the two major functions played by ethics in organizations, first, an amplifying function that creates self-reinforcing positive spirals, and second, a buffering function that strengthens and protects organizations from adverse organizational change.
