Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of remuneration on employee ethics in the work environment. Using quantitative methods, this study involved 30 respondents who were selected purposively. Data collection was carried out through an online questionnaire/google form, which was then analyzed using SPSS. The results of the analysis showed that remuneration had a significant effect on employee ethics, with a regression coefficient value of 0.729 and a significance level of 0.000. As much as 53.2% of the variation in employee ethics can be explained by remuneration, as shown in the regression model which has an R-Square value of 0.532. In addition, the Cronbach's Alpha value of 0.836 indicates that the research instrument has very good reliability. This study concludes that adequate remuneration can improve employee ethical behavior, such as honesty, responsibility, and compliance with rules. Recommendations are given to organizations to develop a fair remuneration system as part of a strategy to strengthen an ethical and productive work culture
