Self-perception of ethical behaviour. The case of listed Spanish companies

Economics Working Papers from Department of Economics and Business, Universitat Pompeu Fabra

Abstract: In recent years there has been much talk about the ethics of organisations and studies on the subject are plentiful. However, there has been scarcely any research into the perception that companies themselves have of their ethical behaviour. This article presents the results showing the self-perception that listed Spanish companies have of their ethical behaviour, with the observation that, generally, they have a greater perception than the reality of the study actually shows.
