Abstract
This study aimed to analyze the impact of corporate governance on enhancing ethical behavior within business organizations. Corporate governance can be described as an organizational framework that contributes to regulating organizational performance and ensuring compliance with ethical and professional standards. The study adopted a theoretical and analytical approach by reviewing relevant literature and recent studies published between 2018 and 2025, including studies in internationally classified journals and fields, that examined the relationship between governance principles—namely transparency, accountability, independence, and social responsibility—and the ethical behavior of employees and senior management. The findings of the analysis revealed that the implementation of corporate governance effectively contributes to fostering a culture of integrity and responsibility within organizations, reducing corruption and the abuse of power, and strengthening trust between organizations and their stakeholders. The study concludes that adopting corporate governance principles is not merely a managerial choice for business organizations, but rather a strategic necessity for achieving sustainability and maintaining a positive corporate reputation.
