Abstract

Business ethics has been subject to so many studies in the contemporary literature. Being a type of human activity, business can and must be also evaluated from the moral behavior's point of view, not just from the economic efficiency perspective. The goal of our qualitative study is to reveal the relationship between the ethical values and the organizational culture. It is based on a survey of 148 subjects, managers and employees who work in companies in the regional business environment of Romania, in the Mures county. We have reached a main conclusion: the implementation of ethical values is connected, through the organizational culture, to the size of the enterprise. Big companies are more likely to elaborate written ethical codes within a strategic vision and their employees acknowledge this aspect, compared with small enterprises and their workers.
