Code Implementation and Code Embeddedness: Perceptions of Employees by Ethical Ideologies

The purpose of this research is to investigate relationships between perceived code embeddedness and perceived code implementation with employees’ ethical ideologies, namely idealism and relativism, in a denominational higher education institution in Indonesia. A sample of 103 employees involved in the research. Findings of the research indicate that the promotion of a code of ethics is somewhat problematic when the ethical ideologies of employees are taken into account. As such, this research has a number of limitations. Some recommendations for further research in this area are also discussed.
