| Abstract: | Training, courses and means of enforcement are common and suitable formal self-regulation methods (hereafter as: mtds.) used by business organizations in the process of implementing (here as: p-of-impl.) an ethical code of conduct. This study is based on a sample of 812 employees and conducted in an Israeli subsidiary of a leading multinational high-tech corporation headquartered in the U.S. The study indicates that, of the mtds. used in the p-of-impl., one of the informal mtds. (namely, the social norms of the organization) is perceived by employees to have the most influence on their conduct. This result (examined against employee tenure) remains relatively stable over time. The results indicate that the informal mtds. are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than the formal method. The personal control method differs significantly from all the other methods. |
