GOMIDE JUNIOR, Sinésio; VIEIRA, Lorrana Ellen    OLIVEIRA, Áurea de Fátima. Perception of organizational moral virtues: evidence of validity of a measurement instrument for the brazilian context. Rev. Psicol., Organ. Trab. []. 2016, 16, 3, pp.298-307. ISSN 1984-6657.  https://doi.org/10.17652/rpot/2016.3.10417.

This work starts from the assumption that the individual's moral ties with the employment system may be affected by the individual's perception that this system has virtues that guide its behavior in relation to its employees and customers. The Brazilian literature does not provide an instrument to measure this perception, regarding employees. Thus, the aim of this study was to search for evidence of validity of a measurement instrument on the perception of organizational moral values, whose results showed it was formed by three factors: "organizational goodwill", "organizational trustworthiness", and "organizational generosity". The authors suggest that further investigations try finding other ways of validation, seeking the consolidation of the construct within the area of Organizational Behavior.
