The increased awareness about ethics which gripped the whole Western world in 1980s due to a number of large-scale white-collar crimes has now roused the academicians, theorists, businessmen, politicians as well as the common man in Pakistan. Since reverting back to half-cooked democracy in 1985, we, in Pakistan, have read and heard the endless stories of corruption, flouting of rules, nepotism, and deceit and secret deals. The main characters in these stories are, of course, the proverbial unscrupulous politicians, followed closely by business magnets and bureaucrats. The great hullabaloo about the unsavoury acts of these ‘men of authority’ forces us to consider each and every case as an individual and unique one. In the quagmire of vast level and enormous magnitude of corruption, we perhaps forget that it is the culture of a society and especially the corporate culture which, working together, provide a fertile land for mushroom growth of such incidents. The purpose of this paper is neither to unearth “another corruption case” nor to blame anyone for the present state of our economy in general and of our organizations and institutions in particular. The main aim of this write-up is to relate ethics, ethical theories and ethical issues to corporate culture which prevails in our organizations. It will also be my endeavour to recommend some measures to raise ethical standards in Pakistani organizations.
