“…Every organization has a code of ethical guidelines which defines the acceptable standard behaviour and qualities expected of its employees (Oladirin and Ho, 2014) and such codes have become the regular routine in the modern business world, the construction industry inclusive. According to Akinrata (2020), ethical standard is vital to any profession as a regulatory compass of rules of acceptable behaviour for running its affairs and professional ethics impact on the reputation and economic viability of professionals.
