Abstract: The purpose of our study is to ascertain whether organisational team ethical standards (which eventually impact the organisational performance) are impacted by the managers' and subordinates' ethical behaviour separately. A field study was conducted based on data collected from managers and employees working in companies located in Istanbul. A structural equation modelling (SEM) analysis was performed to test our hypotheses. The study results show a strong relationship between managers' and subordinates' ethical behaviours and firm performance. Our study also found the reversed effects where employees' ethical behaviour influences organisational team ethical standards. Finally the results show that organisational team ethical standards partially mediate the relationship between managers' individual's ethical behaviours and firm performance.
