Abstract

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of the existence of a code of ethics in the work place on the blue-collar workers' security and job satisfaction. The data for this research was collected using self-administered questionnaires from blue-collar employees working in the construction and contracting sectors in Egypt. The results of this research showed a significant relationship between the existence of a code of ethics in a workplace and the blue-collar workers' security and job satisfaction. The development of this research line in future can benefit from using the insights from this study.
