Abstract

Most corporations have internal Ethics training programs as part of either an Ethics & Compliance management system or a Corporate Social Responsibility strategy. The basic assumption of these training programs is the idea that human behaviour can be changed or at least influenced through something that philosophers used to call “moral education”. As previous studies demonstrated, the good or bad reputation of a company depends on the internal and external perception concerning the human behaviour in corporate environment. In this context, the ultimate role of the ethics training is to improve the reputation of companies. Although there is a growing interest and a developing literature dedicated to this area, the titles discussing the effectiveness of ethics training are scarce. This paper presents a model of measuring the influence of the various types of ethics training and correlates it with the external perception over the individual (managers and employees) and corporate responsibility.
