CEO's ethics has a positive effect on financial performance, business ethics, organizational achievement, social achievement. The study found that the higher ethical sense a CEO has, which is one of the highest values of CEO, the higher ownership an employee has, and the more a CEO has a communication with the employees, the more credibility is mutually built, which will be a driving force of company's development.

본 연구의 목적은 현재 현실적으로 가장 이슈가 되고 있는 세계적인 기업들의 윤리경영이 사회적으로 문제가 많이 되고 있는 시점에서 각 기업들 특히 건설회사들의 CEO 윤리의식이 기업들의 경영성과에 어느 정도 기여하는지 알고자 한다. 국내 건설업에 종사하는 대기업, 중소기업들의 기술자 및 관리자들을 대상으로 다수의 설문지를 통한 실증분석 즉 빈도, 신뢰도, 요인, 다중회귀분석을 실시하였다. 통계분석의 도구 SPSS 20 을 사용한 그 결과는 다음과 같다. CEO의 윤리의식은 재무적 성과, 기업윤리, 조직적 성과, 사회적 성과에 유의적인 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. CEO의 최고 덕목인 윤리의식이 높은 회사 일수록 직원들이 주인의식을 갖게 되고 CEO와의 커뮤니케이션이 잘 통해야 서로간의 신뢰를 바탕으로 회사 발전의 원동력이 될 수 있다고 본다. 향후에는 일반적인 회사의 CEO 윤리의식이 경영성과에 미치는 영향에 대해서 폭 넓은 연구가 필요하다.
