Developing and testing a measure for the ethical culture of organizations: the corporate ethical virtues model
基于四项实证研究验证并完善了企业伦理美德模型,开发出包含八个维度的58题自评问卷,可用于评估组织伦理文化。
Abstract Based on four interlocking empirical studies, this paper initially validates and refines the Corporate Ethical Virtues Model which formulates normative criteria for the ethical culture of organizations. The findings of an exploratory factor analysis provide support for the existence of eight unidimensional subscales: clarity, congruency of supervisors, congruency of management, feasibility, supportability, transparency, discussability, and sanctionability. The findings of a confirmatory factor analysis show that the overall fit of the model is quite high. Evidence of convergent and discriminant validity is also found. The resulting 58‐item self‐reporting questionnaire is a useful tool that can be used in future research and by managers in assessing the ethical culture of their organization.
