Abstract
Ethics management, business ethics and corporate social responsibility are ethics related emerging issues for all businesses in the world. There is little evidence that the same level of attention is being paid to ethics management in the construction industry and construction projects. Within this paper, the authors focus on this latent issue of ethics to explore options some options for a systematic management of ethical issues in construction projects and companies.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
