A Typology Proposal of Ethical Culture  \nClaire Lapointe, Lyse Langlois, & Dominique Tanguay Université Laval  \nAcknowlegements  \nThis research was supported in part by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, 435-2013-0848.  \nAbstract  \nOver the past 20 years, improving ethical awareness within organizations has become a priority in the public and private sectors. Ethics is formalized in the workplace, within structures, policies, and practices. However, few studies document the formalization of ethics with regard to its relationship to leadership. Findings from our previous research projects show that the type of culture prevailing in an organization is a determining factor for the promotion of ethical leadership. Based on these findings, we propose four types of ethical cultures: indifferent, controlling, supporting, and capacitating. To verify the theoretical validity of the typology, we conducted a study in a large Canadian high school. Results support the relevance of the typology, which highlighted the challenges met when changing school culture from hierarchical and controlling to ethically capacitating.  \nKeywords: ethical culture, ethical leadership, capability, typology, capacitating ethical culture.  \nEthical awareness has become a social and political priority for many governments and organizations (Michaelson et al., 2014; OECD, 2009; Proenca, 2004), as ethics underlies legitimate, trustworthy, and effective governance (Boisvert et al., 2011; Paquet, 2011). Following the OECD proposals (1996, 2000) and the work of scholars in this area (Genard, 2009; Lacroix, 2009; Mercier, 2004; Mercier & Muller, 2009; Roy, 2009), ethics is implemented alongside other regulation mechanisms such as law, work contracts, codes of deontology and administrative rules (Boisvert et al., 2011). Organizational structures, policies, and culture are the principal means through which these changes are implemented (Applebaum, 1999; Donaldson, 2003; Koonmee et al., 2009; Mercier, 2004; Sims, 1991; Tenbrunsel et al., 2003; Treviño & Nelson, 2011; Treviño & Weaver, 2003). However, few studies document the formalization of ethics within organizations and its relationship to leadership. More specifically, the links between these initiatives, leadership, and the development of an ethical organizational culture are poorly understood. This paper aims at contributing to a better understanding of this issue.  \nProblem Statement and Research Questions  \nIn their exploratory study, Ardichvili et al. (2009) identify some of the main factors that appear to facilitate organizational ethics. One factor, also substantiated in later studies, is the implementation of an organizational culture that supports ethics at work on a daily basis by enhancing members’ ethical com-  \npetencies (Kaptein, 2009; Park & Blenkinsopp, 2013; Ruiz et al., 2014). With regard to the concept of organizational culture, Langlois and Lapointe (2014) note that contemporary scholars still ground their work in the key conceptual definitions provided by Clegg (1981), Smircich (1983), Schein (1987) and Mills (1988), who suggest that an organization can be compared to a micro-society where values, norms, rules, and procedures, as well as traditions and stories, are created and adapted over time, resulting in a particular value-based guiding system called organizational culture. According to Brown and Treviño (2006), Cuilla (1998), Schminke et al. (2005), and Yukl et al. (2013), ethical leadership by top managers is a prerequisite to creating an ethical culture within an organization. However, precisely what type of organizational culture fosters the formalization of ethics? How do leaders support or prevent the development of a culture that empowers individuals to act ethically?  \nOver the last 25 years, our empirical research has hinted at the existence of a strong link between the actualization of ethical leadership and o","cbCaiklFOLxMvDBL","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiklFOLxMvDBL","pdf",335773,14,"English","# Abstract\n# Aims and Background\n# Problem Statement and Research Questions\n# Conceptual Framework\n## Ethics and Ethical Leadership\n# Ethical Culture Typology and Empirical Study\n# References and Supporting Literature","[{\"question\":\"What four types of ethical cultures are proposed in the paper?\",\"answer\":\"The authors propose four types of ethical cultures: indifferent, controlling, supporting, and capacitating.\"},{\"question\":\"Why is organizational culture considered important for promoting ethical leadership?\",\"answer\":\"The paper argues that the type of culture prevailing in an organization is a determining factor for the promotion of ethical leadership, shaping whether individuals can express ethical competencies.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the ethical culture typology tested empirically?\",\"answer\":\"The theoretical validity of the typology was verified through a study conducted in a large Canadian high school.\"}]","How are you Managing, Ethically Speaking? - A Typology Proposal of Ethical Culture | PDF",1792083928,35]
