Summary/Abstract: The aim of this study is to investigate whether the ethical decision-making status of the staff working at the university's executive level differs in terms of some variables. In this descriptive study, the questionnaire technique was used as a data collection method. "Ethical decision making scale" and "personal information form" were used as data collection tools in the study. In the analysis of the data obtained, Mann-Whitney U Test was used for comparisons between two independent groups and Kruskal Wallis Variance Analysis for multi-group comparisons. In cases where a significant difference was found as a result of Kruskal Wallis Variance Analysis in multiple comparisons, Mann Whitney U Test was used to determine which groups this difference originated from. Frequency and percentage methods were used in the analysis of the data regarding demographic data. As a result of the study, it was seen that the perceptions of ethical decision-making of the staff working at the university administration level did not differ significantly according to the gender variable (p = 0.130> 0.05), and there was a significant difference in the subdimension of cooperation in terms of marital status (p = 0.049 <0.05). It was also concluded that there was a significant difference in terms of ethical decision making (p = 0.020 <0.05), affection sub-dimension (p = 0.034 <0.05) and justice sub-dimension (p = 0.017 <0.05) according to the educational level variable.
