Purpose: The theoretical goal is to learn what ethical values are actually present in management concepts. We achieve this goal by analysing the content of management manuals. The practical goal is to draw the attention of the authors of textbooks and people teaching the basics of management to ethical deficiencies present in management textbooks and, as a result, deficiencies in the education of people studying management. Design/methodology/approach: In the article, we used a quantitative and qualitative content analysis method. This method consists in a systematic study of the content of a text in search of the most frequently occurring words and concepts. The aim is to discover ethical content in management textbooks. Findings: In the analysed textbooks, only an outline of ethics can be found as a set of moral norms and values recognized/preferred in the business environment in business activity. However, we will not find ethics understood as a philosophical reflection on morality/ethos. We also found a great deal of variation in management textbooks regarding the presence of ethical values. Research limitations/implications: In the study, we took into account nine popular management textbooks. This made it possible to determine the dominant ethical content in the entire group of textbooks, without the possibility of formulating binding conclusions regarding the differentiation between various teaching and research centres. Practical implications: The results achieved may become an inspiration to write textbooks on the basics of management with more extensive ethical threads, adequate to the humanistic challenges facing management. Social implications: The results of the study may make us aware of the need to prepare management manuals that will prepare managers for ethical management. Originality/value: Conclusions regarding management ethics are formulated on the basis of empirical research. In the study, we used content analysis (qualitative and quantitative) not used in ethical research.
