Abstract

Using a sample of 101 employees from a community-based health care agency in the southern U.S., we empirically examined the relationships between organizational dissent and idealism, relativism, and corporate ethical values. The results indicated that idealism and dissent were negatively' related, relativism and dissent were unrelated and corporate ethical values and dissent were positively associated. The findings suggest that both individual and organizational factors should be noted, when assessing dissent
