Abstract

In
the present age in many areas the way to progress depends on being “qualified”.
What is expressed here as being "qualified" is not only the ability
to accomplish a job as good as possible in technical terms, but also it
involves the ethical values which makes an individual superior in terms of
personal qualities. The purpose of this study is to determine how ethical codes
of conduct and ethical issues are perceived by women entrepreneurs who serve
with public service organizations and employers. In this direction, the
research was carried out on 11 public institutions and organizations employees
related to female entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs operating in the
province of Mersin. Survey method was used in the survey data collection
methods. The questionnaires were distributed to 500 people, 200 women
entrepreneurs and 300 institution workers, and 400 questionnaires with
consistent answers from the distributed questionnaires were evaluated. In the
study; (ATBEQ) scale developed by Neumann and Reichel (1979). Ethical behavior
perceptions of employees in public institutions and organizations related to
women entrepreneurs and women entrepreneurs were measured on a question-based
basis. Hypotheses established to determine whether there is a significant difference
between the groups as a result of the measurements were tested by the
Independent Samples t-Test Analysis. When the findings that determine the
perception level of ethical behavior of female entrepreneurs and public
institutions are examined, it is determined that the perception level of
ethical behavior of female entrepreneurs is higher than that of public sector
and organization employees.
