Abstract: Business ethics are a field with a dynamic evolution in organizations, with key-values shaping the corporate culture of companies and as well the profile of employees. Business ethics become more and more important as an element of the corporate culture to be shared and promoted by each employee. This is the consequence of the fact that nowadays companies rather hire an attitude than technical skills which can be anyway trained on the job. Ethical behavior in compliance with ethical codes, moral in business and reliability become key-values of the corporate culture and of the assessment of employees. The present paper gives new perspectives regarding the role of ethics in organizations as a key-factor making the difference as a competitive advantage for standing out of the line and for delimitation from other competitors on the market. The present paper proposes an interdisciplinary research approach, based on the assessment of business, economics, psychology and legal aspects related to business ethics in organizations and their importance for the human resources management. In accordance with modern trends in academia, qualitative methods, such as the questionnaire and the SWOT-analysis are used in order to investigate the research hypothesis and to formulate research results. The research findings can be developed and used in human resources departments dealing with this interesting issue.
