Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship that Ethical Work Climates and National Culture have on business faculty in universities. Most studies involving ethics focus on students or professions outside academia. We felt that looking at the teaching profession and in particular business faculty across cultures would provide an insight to the question of whether academic elites were influenced by their organizational culture or national culture when introducing the subject of ethics to their students. The most significant difference was in the egoistic climate. Contrary to the hypothesis that the United States would score higher, it in fact scored the lowest of the three. It also held true that the United States is slightly more principled than Ghana and Taiwan. In all other climates there was no significant difference
