Summary/Abstract: Business ethics, as a part of so called applied ethics, has been dynamically gaining on importance. Pushing the idea of applying ethics in the Czech business environment has started in the mid- 90s of 20th century. Since that time the business ethics has made a huge progress and its Czech representatives and promoters have done a significant amount of work in this area. On the other hand, it is necessary to objectively admit, that there are still many managers, businessmen, students and people who have doubts about the legitimacy of business ethics and they consider it as unreal and illusory in the market environment. Therefore, main objective of this paper is to contribute to the knowledge, understanding, current status, level of perception’s awareness of ethics and morality in business and social spheres based on both theoretical analysis and resource bases, and own empirical research.
