Abstract
Behind the decline of business ethics in our country are the increased pursuit of short-time profits, changes in Japanese management, the existence of closed society within companies, the decline in the monitoring function of main bank, and the misunderstanding of corporate social responsibility is pointed out. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a mechanism to maintain the trust of society throughout the company, and one of the measures is the institutionalization of business ethics. In this paper, I will review the literature based on the summary of issues in previous research on business ethics, focusing on corporate scandals in our country. As a result, I would like to present trends and issues concerning the business ethics in our country. In particular, in order to establish business ethics, it is important not only to establish a system within the organization, but also to create an ethical climate in the organization that allows the system to function effectively. In other words, it overlaps with the formation of ethical organizational culture and ethical organizational climate. From the above, in order to realize the establishment of business ethics, it is necessary to make the business ethics system practically function within the organization and to incorporate it into the organizational culture and ethical climate.
