So far, many researches have investigated the relationship between ethics management and organizational performance, but it was difficult to reach a unanimous conclusion. This is because the research results significantly depend on the variables and measures used in the individual study. It has been pointed out, in particular, that the discrepancy is caused by the question of which scale (Measurement) is appropriate for measuring business ethics and organizational performance. Accordingly, this exploratory study attempts to develop the appropriate scales. The study emphasizes the specificity of a corporation`s relationship with stakeholders and tries to define a measure dynamically and practically focusing on the corporate-level efforts and activities. This study categorizes the variables of the business ethics(independent variables) in 5 classes - 1) Perception, 2) Behavior, 3) Ethical system, 4) CSP, 5) Ethical Culture and Ethical Climate. The performance variables are classified into three: 1) corporate financial performance, 2) perception, and 3) behavior.
