Abstract
This study examines The Mediating Role of Organizational Culture in the relationship between
Professional Ethics and Organizational Performance in selected Ethiopian private banks. The
researcher uses a non-experimental design; i.e. a descriptive survey to measure the study.
Questionnaire was used as data collection instrument. The study employed exploratory factor
analysis (EFA) through principal component analysis and structural equation modeling (SEM) to
validate the results. Selected branches of 16 currently operating private banks were
chosen purposively to represent the banking industries; a proportional stratified sampling was
used and respondents of 293 were selected randomly. 280 usable responses were collected. The
result revealed that there is a significant correlation between professional ethics, organizational
culture and operational performance. The mediation analysis result of the study also shows that
organizational culture partially (competitively) mediates the relationship between professional
Ethics and operational performance. Therefore, regulatory bodies’ i.e. NBE, the banks officials
and managers of the bank should give emphasis on development of strong organizational culture
while implementing professional Ethics practice so that the banks operational performance would
be assured.
