The aim of this paper is to examine values as a component of organisational
work ethicality, uncovering the contextual realities of values and explore the
diversity of work ethicality in the entrepreneurial context in Sri Lanka.
Organisational work ethicality is explained through egoistic work ethicality,
utilitarian work ethicality and deontological work ethicality. With a view to
get a deeper understanding of the diversity of organisational work
ethicality, a qualitative approach is adopted. Twelve entrepreneurs were
selected for in-depth interviews. A thematic analysis was carried out for
field notes with the support of NVivo 6 version. Findings of this study reveal
that the entrepreneurial thinking and their interpretations derived different
social meanings of organisational work ethicality. The final outcome shows
that rather than single dominant work ethicality, a combination of work
ethicalities was preferred by most of the entrepreneurs. Within this mix of
ethicalities, deontological ethicality and egoistic work ethicality seem to be
equally practised by the entrepreneurs. The utilitarian ethicality seems to be
practised at a minimum level. As a result, the implicational value of this
study lies on at the organisational level and policy making level to rethink
and reestablish a mechanism to improve ethical aspects of the businesses in
order to maximise social well-being while doing the right things for the
society and strengthening shareholders’ protection |
