JohtaminenThis study examined ethical organisational culture, consisting of ethical
organisational virtues, and organisational innovativeness. More specifically, the
study explored the relationship between the phenomena. Ethical organisational
culture was studied using Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) model, which is
based on the virtue theory of business ethics. This research makes a
contribution to prior research on ethical organisational culture by linking the
concept of organisational innovativeness (OIN) to it. The overall goal of this
study was to increase the understanding about the ethical organisational
culture and its role in organisational innovativeness, and to provide a rich
description of the topic using a mixed methods approach. The aims of this
study were to examine the relationship between ethical organisational culture
and organisational innovativeness, to increase the understanding about the
relationship, and to discuss how mixed methods could be applied in
organisational ethics and innovativeness research. The findings of this study
showed that ethical organisational culture was associated with organisational
innovativeness. The CEV and OIN scales were found to be valid instruments for
assessing ethical organisational culture and organisational innovativeness in
Finnish organisations. Further, the results showed that specific virtues of ethical
culture were differently associated with various dimensions of organisational
innovativeness. In general, the ethical organisational culture had a specific role
in process and behavioural innovativeness. In addition, the findings suggested
that ethically congruent behaviour of top management had the strongest
association with organisational innovativeness overall and specifically with
process and behavioural innovativeness. Furthermore, specific ethical
organisational virtues, namely feasibility, discussability and supportability,
seemed to encourage innovative behaviour in organisations. Thus,
organisations could benefit from understanding which virtues of ethical culture
are particularly relevant to organisational innovativeness. Finally, this study
used mixed methods approach and provided more versatile and detailed
information on ethical organisational culture and organisational innovativeness
than a single-method study would have allowed.
