Summary/Abstract: The ethical climate is a construct, which is conceptualized by John Cullen and Bart Victor. In the process of its validation they developed the Ethical Climate Questionnaire. This article describes the pilot approbation of the Bulgarian version of ECQ. The approbation went through three steps — translation, administering the questionnaire and statistical analysis. The statistical analysis included reliability and factor analysis. The factor analysis produced 5 interpretable factors — instrumental, caring, service, independence and law, which closely match the previous findings concerning the factor structure of the questionnaire. Further on are discussed some methodological issues concerning the instrument as well as alternatives for measuring the ethical climate in organizations.
