Description
This study investigates the impact of self-esteem, virtuousness and work values on ethical behaviors. In literature, studies suggest that individual and organizational factors as an important determinant or precursor of ethical behaviors. However, there has been relatively little substantive research focusing on these issues. In this respect, significant findings have been collected as a result of a research conducted on 174 employees of ten hotel enterprises in Turkey. Based on the findings, significant relationships have been observed among self-esteem, virtuousness, work values and ethical behaviors. Accordingly, one of the dimensions of virtuousness and self-esteem affect ethical behaviors positively. Moreover, dimensions of work values such as influence and advancement, working relationships and financial & working conditions are found out to have effect on ethical behaviors.
