This is an exploratory study of sector differences related to ethical work climates, an emerging research area of organizational ethics. A national sample was conducted of top managers from three different regions of the United States, using ethical measures from previous ethical climate research. The analysis indicates that public managers generally perceive the ethical climates of their organizations less favorably than do their private sector counterparts
