Background: Recent successful experiences of ethical- driven organizations have heightened attention to vital role of ethical issues. Despite of all studies which have tried to determine the influences of ethic on organizational performance, it is necessary to conduct more extended studies to manifest different consequences of ethically-driven strategies and behaviors in organizations.
Methods: Two questioners were conducted to gather information about organizational virtuousness and organizational health. Virtuousness questioner was an open questioner and it was quantified using content analysis. Finally the relationship between dimensions of organizational virtuousness and organizational health was investigated through Pearson correlation test.
Results: Findings of this research admit that there is a positive relationship between five dimensions of virtue ethic (Integrity, Empathy, Courage, Conscientiousness and Zeal) and organizational health but no significant relationship was found between organizational health and "Warmth" as a dimension of virtue ethic.
Conclusion: This research has found a relationship between organizational health and virtue ethic. It shows firms that pursue ethically-driven strategies& policies can release better performance.
