| Abstract: | Corporate America is institutionalizing ethics through variety of structures, systems, and processes. This study seeks to identify managerial perceptions regarding the institutionalization of ethics in organizations. 86 corporate-level marketing and human resource managers of American multinational corporations responded to a mail survey. The results revealed that managers found ethics to be good for the bottom line of the organizations, that they did not perceive the need for additional formalization of ethics, and that they perceived implicit forms of institutionalizing ethics (e.g., leadership, corporate culture, top management support) to be more effective than the explicit forms of institutionalizing ethics (e.g., ethics officers, ethics committees, ethics newsletters). There are also implications for future research in the paper. |
