For this purpose, 88 experts and professors of the university based on survey method as a statistical society were questioned about relevant factors in the form of a questionnaire. With the analysis, it was found that the most important factors in the ethical organization are culture of organization, the organization's environment and the way employees perceive that these are strengthened by the style of managers and ethical infrastructures.
