- Abstract:
This critical review examines studies on the use and effectiveness of corporate ethics codes between 1977 and 2008. A corporate code can be an effective instrument for corporate ethics management, but this depends on the right conditions being in place. A substantial number of empirical studies have demonstrated that an appropriate organizational culture and effective communication are the key conditions necessary for the codes to have a positive effect on employees' ethical behaviour and decision-making. The major business ethics campaign in Hong Kong, China, is an example of introducing corporate ethics codes into the construction/property industry to influence the behaviour of construction practitioners. Gaps in the current knowledge and the obstacles limiting employees' understanding of corporate codes are identified.
