Sažetak
Examining the personal characteristics that affect ethical behavior is crucial since corporate citizenship behavior includes business ethics as one of its fundamental components. The main goal of the current study is to examine relations between organizational commitment, work satisfaction, and business ethics, as well as gender differences in these variables. Data were collected using the business ethics scale, organizational commitment scale, and work satisfaction scale from a sample of 243 workers (164 males, 79 women) at Metal Product Ltd. from Zagreb, which produces electrical equipment. As expected, both men and women demonstrated positive associations between organizational commitment and business ethics scales. Moreover, only women demonstrated positive relationships between the business ethics and work satisfaction. Organizational commitment positively correlated with job satisfaction in men but not women. Regression analysis results showed unique predicted relationships between the organizational commitment scale and business ethics in both men and women, as was expected. The relationship between job satisfaction and business ethics varied by gender ; job satisfaction strongly predicted business ethics only in women while not in men. 29% of the overall score variation in men's business ethics and 24% in women's business ethics were exclusively explained by organizational commitment and work satisfaction. According to the study's findings, there are some gender differences in the relationships between organizational commitment and work satisfaction as well as in the relationships between business ethics and organizational commitment. Overall, the findings point to the importance of organizational commitment and job satisfaction in the explanation of business ethics.
