| Abstract: | The examination presented in this paper seeks to contribute both quantitatively and qualitatively to the issue of family versus non-family businesses' differences in ethical core values, culture and ethical climate. We aspire to better understand the association between the extent of involvement of a family in an enterprise and its effect on the enterprise's core values, culture and ethical climate as the fundamental elements of enterprise ethical behaviour. The research implies that both family and non-family enterprises maintain positive attitudes towards the core values with ethical content. Considering the type and strength of culture in addition to the type of ethical climate, the results indicate that family and non-family enterprises differ significantly from each other. |
