Abstract
Negative behaviour within an organisation affects the reputation, and the operations of an organisation. The factors that have an influence on behaviour include morality, ethics and loyalty. With numerous influences on morality and loyalty alike, ethical codes are varying among countries, organisations and individuals. The fluctuating nature of codes of ethics means that organisations working together, which are based in different regions, have different expectations and perceptions of ethics based on the codes of ethics established within their organisations. The results indicated that small business owners in leading African countries (South Africa and Nigeria) have similar views on moral behaviour and concern for ethical misconduct in the workplace.
