Cecilia Martinez, Ann Gregg Skeet, Pedro M. Sasia. “Managing Organizational Ehics: How Ethics Becomes Pervasive Within Organizations.”  Business Horizons, October 21, 2020, 

This study analyzes real experiences of culture management to better understand how ethics permeates organizations. The consistency of findings suggests patterns of organizational conditions, cultural elements, and opportunities that influence the management of organizational cultures centered on core ethical values. We identify three conditions—a sense of responsibility to society, conditions for ethical deliberation, and respect for moral autonomy—coupled with a diverse set of cultural elements that cause ethics to take root in culture when the opportunity arises.
