Job Ethics and its Impact on the Commitment to Social Responsibility An Empirical Study in Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO)

Abstract

This paper aims to identify the impact of job ethics implementing its principles (Lows respective, Justice and Impartiality, Integrity, Transparency, Objectivity) on the commitment to social responsibility, in Arabian Gulf Oil Company (AGOCO) from managers’ points of view. Adopting the quantitative method and using the questionnaire on 112 managers, the findings revealed that the level of job ethic and social responsibility was at a medium level. Also, a significant relationship between three principals of job ethic (i.e., Lows respective, Integrity, Transparency) and the social responsibility commitment was identified. However, the analysis showed that there was no significant impact between Justice and impartiality as well as Objectivity on the social responsibility. Some recommendations are presented by this paper. AGOCO should be highly concerned with concepts and practices of job ethics and social responsibility, especially at the level of company’s leaders.
