Abstract: Organisational ethics and organisational responsibility culture are interdependent, and therefore these ethics and responsibilities respond to internal or external stimuli. This study investigates the influence of organisational virtue (OV) on the perceived role of ethics (PRE) and perception of social responsibility (PSR) and explores the association between OV and organisational efficacy (OE) in the banking sector. This study also examines the mediating effects of OE on the association between OV and PRE in business and the association between OV and PSR. A convenience sampling method is employed in the cross-sectional study of 322 employees and their supervisors in 83 branches of banks in the eastern provinces of China. Results showed that OV exerts a positive influence on OE, PSR, and PRE in business. Similarly, OE significantly mediates the association between OV and the association between OV and PSR in the banking sector. This work provides several implications and future research directions.
