The aim o f this paper is to examine values as a component o f organisational
work ethicality, uncovering the contextual realities o f values and explore the
diversity o f 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 o f the diversity o f 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 ofNVivo 6 version. Findings o f this study reveal
that the entrepreneurial thinking and their interpretations derived different
social meanings o f organisational work ethicality. The final outcome shows
that rather than single dominant work ethicality, a combination o f work
ethicalities was preferred by most o f the entrepreneurs. Within this mix o f
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 o f this
study lies on at the organisational level and policy making level to rethink
and reestablish a mechanism to improve ethical aspects o f the businesses in
order to maximise social well-being while doing the right things fo r the
society and strengthening shareholders ’protection. |
