We assessed students' and employees' perception of ethical climate at a university school of medicine compared to that of social sciences and humanities, as well as temporal changes in the employees' perception of ethical climate. We also explored potential predictors of ethical climate, including moral foundations. This cross-sectional questionnaire study was conducted at the University of Split School of Medicine and the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in Croatia, from April to September 2019. We used 36-item Ethical Climate Questionnaire and 22-item Moral Foundation Questionnaire to survey employees, senior and doctoral students. We collected responses using ballot boxes as well as online survey. We collected 449 complete responses (response rate 36.8%). The dominant ethical climates at two schools were "Company rules and procedures" and "Laws and professional codes". We compared our results with a study conducted in 2012 and found that the perception of ethical climate had not changed dramatically in last 8 years. Ethical climate, or shared social and work-related behaviours, does not seem to change in these institutions even when students and staff are included with faculty in surveys. We provide further discussion of why this seems to be the case.
我们评估了医学院学生和员工对道德氛围的认知，并将其与社会科学和人文学院的情况进行比较，同时考察了员工对道德氛围认知的时间变化。我们还探究了道德氛围的潜在预测因素，包括道德基础。这项横断面问卷调查研究于2019年4月至9月在克罗地亚斯普利特医学院以及人文与社会科学学院开展。我们使用36项道德氛围问卷和22项道德基础问卷对员工、高年级学生和博士生进行调查。我们通过投票箱以及在线调查收集反馈。我们共收集到449份完整回复（回复率为36.8%）。两所学校占主导地位的道德氛围是“公司规则与程序”和“法律与职业规范”。我们将研究结果与2012年进行的一项研究进行比较，发现过去8年里道德氛围的认知并未发生显著变化。即便在调查中将学生和员工与教师一同纳入，这些机构中的道德氛围，即共享的社会及与工作相关的行为，似乎也没有改变。我们进一步讨论了为何会出现这种情况。
