Abstract: | In addition to a person’s character and training, the organization’s ethical work climate (EWC) can assess how the organization
influences an individual’s ethical decision-making process by examining the individuals’ perception of “what is the right
thing to do” in a particular organizational environment. Relatively little research has explored which EWCs dominate military
units and the impact of organizational role and environmental uncertainty on individuals in the military and their ethical
decision making. In this study, we examined the predominant EWCs among military units and found that certain organizational
influences are associated with the specific EWCs. Based on these discoveries, we discuss the implications of EWC studies and
the influence of organizational role and environmental uncertainty for researchers, as well as military leaders. |
