Abstract
Business ethics is in management literature models mainly considered as unified, although in business practice exists a need for broader understanding of diverse appearing forms of company BE, relations between different BEs, and company BE gaps. Paper offers a new research agenda for considering of employees’ and companies’ BE, relations between company’s BEs, company internal BE gaps, and origins for perceived BE gaps. Results of our research reveal significant changes in employees’ real BE, whereas unethical employees’ behavior and taking advantage of other are becoming more unacceptable over a decade. In terms of companies’ real BE the proactive approach to ethical behavior is becoming significantly more valued, while perceptions about what company’s ethical business remains almost at the same level for a decade. Employees’ and companies’ BE are correlated, whereas the impact of unethical employees’ behavior on companies’ ethical and proactive ethical business is stronger, than taking advantage of peers.
