EMPIRICAL RESEARCH INTO ETHICS MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS : A STUDY ON ROMANIAN ORGANIZATIONS

Summary/Abstract: This article discusses the results of an exploratory empirical research into the current state of ethics management programs in Romanian organizations. It highlights most prominent trends in what concerns the way Romanian organizations internalize their moral responsibility, as translated into institutionalized ethics activities ranging from writing end embedding a code of ethics into daily operations, to organizing ethical trainings and reporting the results of ethics management programs. Main fi ndings of the research put forward by the article concern, on the one hand, the level of development of ethics management in Romanian organizations and, on the other hand, the model which is dominant in the Romanian ethical management practice. Apart from this, the article discusses several ‘behind the scenes’ research fi ndings, such as the type of organizational structures handling ethics management activities, number of employees working in such structures, but also the position of such structures in the organizational hierarchy.
