Abstract: Management academics have tended to rely on ethical code developed by researchers. The point of this paper is to understand ethical approach of management whether this remains a viable approach in the current climate that is characterized by a significant increase in ethical regulation across the social sciences. We suggest that management researchers to face ethical issues of a different nature to those most frequently confronted by other researchers, and argue for more explicit acknowledgement of various factors involved in management research. An exploratory analysis of the content of ethics codes formulated by nine social scientific associations is undertaken to identify the main ethical principles they cover and to analyze their underlying ethical tone. Despite the risk that ethics codes may encourage instrumental compliance with minimal ethical obligations, we suggest they also have the potential to reflect a more aspirational agenda. The development of an ethics code for management research should therefore be seen as a potentially worthwhile project. We have first defined the meaning, history and importance of management research and then we went on to describe the framework and types involved in management research programme. And lastly conclude ethics in management research with the help of just understanding key enablers & cases of ethics in management research.
