| Summary: | 碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 國際管理碩士在職專班 === 94 === The role of ethics in businesses and organizations has long been focused among researchers. Previous researches had proved that ethical climate could influence the employees’ job satisfaction and organizational commitment. However, a lacking gap is a more comprehensive understanding of how specific ethical climates types relate to job satisfaction and organizational commitment.
In this study, we examine the relationship among three dimensions of ethical climate, different facets of job satisfaction and different organizational commitment types. Three hypotheses were developed to test these relationships. A 44-item survey questionnaire was developed to conduct a survey from the managers of Taiwan companies and organizations. Total of 133 usable questionnaires were collected. Through a series of questionnaire survey, the results of this study and implications are presented and discussed.
The results of the research show that organizational leaders can favorably influence organizational outcomes by engaging in, supporting and rewarding ethical behaviors. Among the three dimensions of ethical climate, benevolent climate and principled climate had most significant influence on job satisfaction and organizational commitment. Although benevolent climate is the most favorable climate, it had the least presence in Taiwan companies and organizations.
