| Summary: | Decision on delegation of authority can have long term effect on ethical
behavior of organisations. This paper examined the effect of centralization on
business ethics among deposit money banks (DMBs) in Nigeria. Using survey
design, we obtained and analysed data from 376 respondents in the industry
comprising of managerial level staff. Our result indicates that centralization
moderately influence business ethics among the deposit money banks in
Nigeria. The findings suggest that increased level of centralization can indeed
improve ethical decision behaviour among the DMBs. As such, even as
decentralization can facilitate decision making by granting some level of
autonomy to individuals and units, centralization can be helpful in ensuring
business ethics in the DMBs in Nigeria. |
