Abstract: The article examines the connection between corporate culture and business ethics. Ethical considerations have grown in importance in today's corporate environment, impacting not only internal decision-making processes but also the culture of the entire corporation. This study delves into the dynamics that underlie the interplay between business ethics and organizational culture, examining how ethical principles are embedded in the values, norms, and behaviors that define an organization's identity. By synthesizing existing literature and drawing on empirical examples, the paper aims to elucidate the impact of ethical practices on the development and sustenance of a positive organizational culture and investigates the reciprocal influence, exploring how the prevailing culture within an organization can either foster or hinder the adoption and adherence to ethical principles. The results of this study should deepen our understanding of the close connection between organizational culture and business ethics, having important implications for scholars and policymakers who work to foster ethical workplace environments.
