“…Organizational culture is those patterns that are influenced by organizational members (Key, 1999). Organizational culture is the accumulated shared learning, the patterns of beliefs, values, and norms that define the organization (Asencio, 2022). As a result of shared organizational culture, individuals may be encouraged to act in manners consistent with pre-existing ethical norms.…”

“…There is empirical research that examines organizational culture and ethics. In a survey research that sampled leaders in municipalities and counties in the U.S., Asencio (2022) found that leaders’ commitment to behaving ethically and creating an organizational culture is key to building ethical culture in public organizations (Asencio, 2022).

How to promote ethical conduct in the public sector has been discussed extensively in the public administration literature, yet empirical studies that employ comprehensive datasets are rare. This study proposes a hybrid model to explain ethical performance in local governments. Results of our study point to the importance of leadership in creating ethical organizations. Analysis of comprehensive survey data collected from local governments supports our hypothesis that organizational leadership not only promotes ethical behavior directly but also indirectly through reinforcing ethics culture in local governments. This paper discusses the practical implications of our findings and advances some recommendations to enhance ethical conduct in the public sector.

“…In line with this, various studies have established the positive influence of leadership training across different industries, outcomes, and settings ( Hasson et al, 2016 ). Among these training programmes, ethics training is decisive in developing leaders’ ethical character ( Beeri et al, 2013 ; Asencio, 2021 ). Ethical programs represent a set of processes and mechanisms by which organizations shape employees’ behavior, explaining both ethical and unethical forms of behavior within the organizational environment.…”

IntroductionThe challenge of restricting unethical behavior requires public companies to reinforce ethical practices among leaders through various instruments. Previous research suggests that the (un)ethical behavior of leaders can be influenced by many situational factors. This study aimed to investigate the influence of ethics training and education on unethical leadership behavior in the Algerian public companies.MethodsData were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 leaders from public companies in Algeria. Data analysis was facilitated using ATLAS. ti 8 qualitative analysis software.ResultsThe findings show that public companies in Algeria suffer from several issues related to leaders’ ethics training and education. The findings also indicate that some of these unethical leadership behaviors are the result of ineffective training programs and poor ethics education within public companies.DiscussionThe absence or ineffectiveness of ethics training and education within and outside organizational settings has a detrimental impact on leaders’ ethical character. This study is the first to explore how public companies in Algeria engage in ethical training and leadership education. The different sectors of the Algerian business can use the findings as a point of reference to embed the appropriate ethical climate in their respective organizations.
