Abstract: A study was conducted to analyse the ethical climate typology of the Ethical Climate Questionnaire empirically, in order to develop a unique South African typology.

“…These findings are inconsistent with earlier studies that aimed to investigate the validity of the nine climates proposed by Cullen et al (1993) .No prior study is mentioning the emergence of all nine climates (Ambrose, Arnaud, & Schminke, 2007;Cullen, Parboteeah, & Victor, 2003;Peterson, 2002a). Previous research articles were different in terms of the number of the emergent climates which ranged from five to eight (Agarwal & Malloy, 1999;Yener et al,2012;Cullen et al,1993;Grobler, 2016;Cullen et al, 2003;Putranta, 2008;VanSandt, 2001;Vaicy, Barnett & Brown,1996;Wimbush et al, 1997). However, these findings are consistent with previous studies that concluded that distinct types of EC exist across different institutions (Agarwal & Malloy, 1999;Yener et al, 2012;Cullen et al (1993);Grobler, 2016;Cullen et al, 2003;Putranta, 2008;VanSandt, 2001; Vaicy, Barnett & Brown, 1996;Wimbush et al, 1997).…”

“…therefore influences both the decision making and subsequent behavior in response to ethical dilemmas (Grobler ,2015). Martin and Cullen, (2006 ) indicated that the ethical climate serves as a map that generates ideas and decisions within the organization and determines the direction in which it will move as it is put into practice (Çavuş and Develi , 2017) .…”
