Abstract: The effect of organizational ethics on the job satisfaction of information technology professionals in Poland, a transition economy from the Visegrád Group, was examined. Three dimensions of organizational ethics—ethical optimism, corporate social responsibility, and top management action—are investigated. The necessary data is collected by a survey conducted among 391 respondents in different regions of Poland. Results indicate that all three dimensions of organizational ethics, ethical optimism, corporate social responsibility, and top management action, affect the job satisfaction of information technology professionals. The highest job satisfaction seems to be in organizations where the top management propagate and enforce high ethical standards. The authors believe that the application of these will help in creating incentive system for information technology professionals. This new incentive system can lead to better job efficiency and quality of information systems in the Visegrád Group.
