The purpose of this research is to investigate relationships between perceived code embeddedness and perceived code implementation with employees’ ethical ideologies, namely idealism and relativism, in a denominational higher education institution in Indonesia. A sample of 103 employees involved in the research. Findings of the research indicate that the promotion of a code of ethics is somewhat problematic when the ethical ideologies of employees are taken into account. As such, this research has a number of limitations. Some recommendations for further research in this area are also discussed.
