Date collection was conducted from July to August 2021, using the IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0 for Windows program(IBM Corp. Armont, NY, USA), the frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation and Independent t-test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation, Multiple regression analysis. Results: As a result of the study, the ethical sensitivity of hospital nurses showed statistically significant differences according to age, marital status, position, and ethical educational experience. Ethical sensitivity was found to have a significant positive correlation between all sub-factors of the ethical environment and all sub-factors of the nursing practice environment. Among the sub-factors of the ethical environment, the factor influencing ethical sensitivity in this study is ‘relationship with peers (β=.20, p=.034) ’ and ‘relationship with manager (β=.24, p=.023) and the explanatory power was 42.0%, which was statistically significant (F=8.26, p<.001). Conclusion: This study confirmed that ‘relationship with peers’ and ‘relationship with managers’ influence ethical sensitivity among ethical environments. Therefore, it will be necessary to form a positive relationship between peers and managers to improve the ethical sensitivity of hospital nurses.

본 연구는 상사의 윤리적 리더십이 부하의 윤리적 의사결정 의도에 미치는 영향과 조직 분위기의 조절 효과를 검증하였다. 자료의 수집은 충청남ㆍ북도, 대전시 소재 제조업의 총무부서, 자재조달부서, 회계부서의 구성원을 대상으로 2013년 10월 1일부터 동년 동월 30일까지 295명에 대하여 조사하였다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 상사의 윤리적 리더십이 부하의 윤리적 의사결정간에 유효한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 조직 분위기의 이기주의는 상사의 윤리적 리더십이 윤리적 의사결정 의도에 미치는 영향에 있어 유의한 부(-)의 조절효과가 있으며, 원칙주의는 상사의 윤리적 리더십이 윤리적 의사결정 의도에 유의한 정(+)의 조절효과가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 기업의 리더는 자신의 윤리적 행동과 의사결정 과정의 윤리성을 다시 점검하여 부하에게 매력적이고 모범적인 역할 모델이 될 수 있도록 노력해야 하며, 부하와의 의사소통을 통해 윤리적 행동의 필요성을 인식시키고 명확한 윤리적 기준을 수립하여 보상과 통제를 해야 할 것이다. 이러한 윤리적 리더십이 정착되면 부하의 윤리적 의사결정을 향상시킬 수 있을 것이다. 또한 모든 구성원이 공감하고 공유할 수 있는 가치기준이나 행동규범이 정립되고 윤리성이 높은 조직 분위기를 조성하는 것이 구성원의 윤리적 의사결정을 높이는 지름길이라고 할 수 있다.
