@article{article_835573, title={The Impact of Human Values on Ethical Climate: A Private Hospital Practice}, journal={Clinical and Experimental Health Sciences}, volume={11}, pages={336–341}, year={2021}, DOI={10.33808/clinexphealthsci.835573}, author={Arslanoğlu, Ali and Ankara, Hasan Giray}, keywords={Human Values, Ethical Climate, Values}, abstract={<div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:.9em;"> <b>Objective: </b> The aim of this study was to identify the impact of human values on ethical climate. The study also explores the factors affecting  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">either human values or ethical climate. </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:.9em;"> <b>Methods: </b>The study exploited the data of the staff in a private hospital operating in Istanbul. Accordingly, the data of 178 individuals was  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">obtained in four weeks period starting from March 2019. Human values were measured by Human Values Scale which was validated by Dilmaç  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">(2007). Ethical climate was measured by Ethical Climate Scale which was introduced by Schwepker (2001) and validated by Eren and Hayatoğlu  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">(2011). The study employed one-way variance analyses and Kruskal Wallis tests to understand the variations in human values and ethical  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">climate perception upon socioeconomic factors. Additionally, ordinary least square regression was performed to identify the effect of human  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">values on ethical climate perception. </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:.9em;"> <b>Results: </b> It was found that better human values were associated with increasing perceptions of ethical climate. Further, the number of children,  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">age and the length of service had considerable impacts on both human values and the perception of ethical climate. Finally, marital status and  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">educational status did not have any significant impacts on human values and ethical climate. </span> </div> <div style="text-align:justify;"> <span style="font-size:.9em;"> <b>Conclusion: </b> It was identified that the people with better human values were more careful about ethical rules. The findings are important to  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">understand the motivations of ethical climate in a competitive atmosphere. It is believed that further studies investigating ethical climates in  </span> <span style="font-size:.9em;">public and private organisations comparatively will contribute to the literature. </span> </div>}, number={2}, publisher={Marmara University}
