The study investigates the role of empathy as a predictor of ethical decision making at work. Ethical decision making was examined from two viewpoints: as an observer of unethical behaviour and as the perpetrator. Dimensions of ethical decision making were distinguished on the basis of the Jones issue-contingent model. To measure individual empathetic tendencies, The Empathy Questionnaire by Davis was used. Research results demonstrate that empathetic personality traits seem to be significant predictors for recognizing a moral issue, for forming moral judgements, and for establishing moral intents. The research offers implications for the practice of moral awareness in organizations.
