Organisational work ethicality is explained through egoistic work ethicality, utilitarian work ethicality and deontological work ethicality. With a view to get a deeper understanding of the diversity of organisational work ethicality, a qualitative approach is adopted. Twelve entrepreneurs were selected for in-depth interviews. A thematic analysis was carried out for field notes with the support of NVivo 6 version. Findings of this study reveal that the entrepreneurial thinking and their interpretations derived different social meanings of organisational work ethicality. The final outcome showsthat rather than single dominant work ethicality, a combination of work ethicalities was preferred by most of the entrepreneurs. Within this mix of ethicalities, deontological ethicality and egoistic work ethicality seem to be equally practised by the entrepreneurs. The utilitarian ethicality seems to be practised at a minimum level. As a result, the implicational value of this study lies on at the organisational level and policy making level to rethink and reestablish a mechanism to improve ethical aspects of the businesses in order to maximise social well-being while doing the right things for the society and strengthening shareholders\u2019 protection.<\/i><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 600;\">Keywords<\/span><br \/><i style=\"color: #666666; font-size: 11pt;\">Business Ethics, Business Practices, Deontological Work Ethicality, Egoistic Work Ethicality, Entrepreneur, Utilitarian Work Ethicality, Values<\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-216642 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-615973\" style=\"height: 20px; clear: both; width:100%;\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-694810 kc_text_block\"><\/p>\n<p><b>Download<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-417283 kc_col-sm-12 kc_column kc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-715692 kc-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/Values-and-Diversity-of-Organisational-Work-Ethicality.pdf\" target=\"_self\" title=\"\">\n\t\t<i class=\"fa-file-pdf\"><\/i>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":2693,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2704"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2704"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2704\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2707,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2704\/revisions\/2707"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mgt.sjp.ac.lk\/vjm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2704"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
