Key findings include: - A high level of awareness among employees regarding dimensions of business ethics (especially manager and employee ethics), with the exception of organizational ethics which scored a medium level. - A high level of awareness of competitive advantage among employees. - A statistically significant positive impact was found between manager ethics and overall business ethics on competitive advantage. - No significant impact was observed between employee ethics or organizational ethics and competitive advantage.
