Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of ethical climate factors, organizational justice dimensions, and LMX. The research was conducted drawing upon the responses of 716 employees in Romania to survey questionnaires. As expected, the three types of organizational justice were highly interrelated. Furthermore, all types of ethical climate were interconnected. In addition, we found that egoistic ethical climate was negatively related significantly to the three types of organizational justice; the principle and benevolent ethical climate was found to relate to the three dimensions of organizational justice and LMX. Unexpectedly, we revealed that a division of the egoistic ethical climate into two separate sub-factors provided further insights into the relationships with organizational justice and LMX.

Keywords:
Ethical Climate
Organizational justice
LMX
Resumen

El objetivo de este trabajo es investigar la relación de los factores de clima ético, las dimensiones de justicia organizacional y el intercambio líder-subordinado (LMX). La investigación se llevó a cabo a partir de las respuestas a cuestionarios de encuesta de 716 empleados rumanos. Como se esperaba, los tres tipos de justicia organizacional estaban muy relacionados entre sí. Además estaban interconectados todos los tipos de clima ético. Por otra parte se vio que el clima ético egoísta se relacionaba negativamente de un modo significativo con los tres tipos de justicia organizacional; se observó que el clima ético benevolente y de principios se relacionaba con las tres dimensiones de la justicia organizacional y el LMX. Contra pronóstico, descubrimos que dividir el clima ético egoísta en dos sub-factores distintos permitía desentrañar mejor las relaciones con la justicia organizacional y el LMX.

Palabras clave:
Clima ético
