Rozšíření etického kodexu ve firmách v české republice
Prevalence of Code of Ethics in Companies in the Czech Republic

Summary/Abstract: A code of ethics is the basic, traditional and most widely used tool for the ethical management of a company. This paper sets out to determine the prevalence of a code of ethics in a sample of 297 companies in the Czech Republic. The companies were divided into one of three categories according to their size in terms of numbers of employees: small (up to 49 employees), medium-sized (50-249 employees) and large (over 250 employees). The hypothesis was put forward that a code of ethics is present in less than 70% of Czech companies. This is lower than in Western European countries and the USA, where the presence of a code of ethics is widespread and therefore often greatly exceeds this limit. The hypothesis was confirmed.
