Technological advances and the increasing popularity of the Internet have contributed to the flourishing of information and communication technologies (ICT) in business organizations. Employees' unethical conduct has intensified due to the increase use of ICT. In this paper, an Organizational Ethical Commitment Paradigm is offered. At the basis of the proposed paradigm, the existence of code of conduct represents a fundamental establishment of organizational ethical commitment. At the middle layer of the proposed paradigm, a moderate organizational ethical commitment is established where the code of conduct not only created, but employees are aware of such code. At the paradigm's top level, the most meaningful organizational ethical commitment is apparent where employees are familiar with their organizational code of conduct. Implications to practice and research are contributed to the understanding of ethical decision making.
