The article provides the academic community and management practitioners with the results of an extensive empirical study conducted on a large sample of 777 managers about the perceived influence of selected organisational factors on managerial unethical decision-making. The findings indicate that factors that predominantly induce managerial unethical decision-making are the “profits-only” mind-set of company owners, the unfair human resource management policies instilled in the workplace and the unethical behaviour of superiors. Results also show that the pressure to produce profits at any expense emphasised by company owners is strongly associated with managers’ interest in results without considering the way they were achieved. In addition, inconsistently with the previous theory, a revised categorisation of organisational factors eliciting unethical decisions is outlined based on empirical findings. This new classification introduces “prioritisation of economic results”, “violation of internal ethical guidelines”, and “situational tensions” categories. The study provides important implications for managers and grounds for further comparative analysis. In its scope and scale, it is the first study of its kind carried out in the Slovak business environment.

This study aims to map the occurrence of various unethical business practices in the Slovak business environment, and to examine potential differences in incidence of these practices towards five key company stakeholders. Furthermore, the hypothesized connection between the occurrence of unethical practices and the company size and regional location is analysed. Data acquired by means of a questionnaire on the sample (n = 1295) stratified according to company size and regional location suggest that compared to the other stakeholders, the group “employees” is significantly less exposed to unethical practices. While the company size and the incidence of unethical practices are connected, with smaller companies being substantially more exposed, the relationship between the regional location and the occurrence of unethical practices was not confirmed.
