Abstract: Abstract Part of the extremely studied concept of ethical management is the ethical decision-making process within an organization designed to determine how the members of the organization should proceed in order not to violate already established ethical codes or generally accepted moral principles. In order to be able to count the morality of an action by evaluating its effects on the beneficiaries, they usually resorted to primary arithmetic calculations in which the consequences on the beneficiaries receive positive or negative values of 1, 2, 3 by reference to few moral principles or institutional rules. The model proposed by us will no longer have to choose the priority of one principle over another based on unclear criteria. We propose a model of calculations that is made by reference to moral values that are supposed to be respected in an organization and, correlatively, the impact evaluated in figures of compliance or non-compliance with these moral values. The proposed mathematical formula is complex and allows quick calculation regardless of how many variables are involved. Also, the impact is then calculated separately from a financial, intellectual, moral, educational, and psychological point of view.
