“…Three classes of ethical theory compose the ethical criterion dimension: egoism, benevolence, and principle. In egoistic (or instrumental) climates, exclusive self-interest is the dominant consideration, in benevolence (or utilitarian) climates the well-being of others is the dominant reasoning, in principled (or deontological) climates interoperation and application of rules, regulations, and laws are considered when making decisions (Lemmergaard and Lauridsen 2007).…”

The purpose of this empirical study is to investigate the effect of paternalistic leadership (PL) on ethical climate and the moderating role of trust in leader. Convenience sampling is used as a sampling procedure and the data were obtained from 227 Turkish employees. The findings indicated that PL had some effect on ethical climate. Furthermore, partial support was found for the moderating effect of trust in leader on the relationship between PL and ethical climate. The results of the study showed the importance of PL on employees in following company rules and procedures and showing a sense of responsibility and care to customers, community, and others in the organization.

“…The ethical climate is part of company's climate and represents the norms about solving ethical questions, in addition to the perceptions of practices and procedures with ethical content (Lemmergaard & Lauridsen, 2008). The ethical climate of company is based on common perceptions of how the companies see and solve ethical dilemmas, and not on the feelings or relations that internal stakeholders (owners, management, and other employees) could have with the company (Wimbush & Shepard, 1994).…”

Abstract:Purpose: All European companies are faced with the lack of payment discipline, which often affects even their survival. One of the key reasons for the lack of payment discipline is poor business ethics, which is primarily introduced with the subject of ethical climate in the literature.For this reason, we wanted to determine whether a company's ethical climate influences its payment discipline.Design/methodology/approach: In the research, we used Arnaud's measurement instrument (2010) that helped us to identify six dimensions of ethical climate. The data about a company's ethical climate were later compared with the data about its payment discipline, calculated using the Dun & Bradstreet rating agency methodology. We included in the sample 273 Slovenian companies, which represented 9.1% of all companies invited to take part in the survey (2978 Slovenian enterprises with 10 or more employees). Findings:We established that (among the six dimensions of the ethical climate) the dimension "moral sensitivity -the lack of norms of empathetic concern" had statistically significant influence on the average delay of payment, and the more significant for the company the lack of norms of empathetic concern was, the longer the delay of the payment to suppliers would be.Our conclusion is that the appropriate forms of the incorporation of training and education on ethical subjects into business studies may increase the payment discipline of companies.-73-Journal of Industrial Engineering and Management -http://dx

“…Thus it can be said that since the internal consistency of the measuring tool is high, its reliability is also high (Gürbüz and Yüksel, 2008, 182). In Table 4 35 With correlation technique, if the relationship between commitment, trust, ethical climate perception and turnover intention exit or not has been tested. In terms of social sciences when correlation coefficient is close to "1" it shows that the relationship is perfect while when it is close to "0" the relationship is weak (Gürbüz and Yüksel, 2008, 185).…”
