Abstract: This study theoretically and empirically examines the relationship between organizational ethical climate and innovative behaviors of middle level managers in companies. Additionally, this paper was written to contribute to the ethical management policies, rules and regulations of organizations to discover the impacts on innovative behaviors of employees. The sample data are derived from a questionnaire survey from 170 participants in a group of production companies located in Istanbul, Izmir, Ankara, Adana, Mersin and Osmaniyein Turkey. The results compared by factor, reliability, correlation and regression analyses confirming the relationship between innovative behavior and organizational ethical climate. As a consequence, these two organizational practices are positively related. The results indicate that perception of positive ethical climate is positively associated with innovative behavior. We discuss our results and their implications for both future academic research and practice.
