Ethical management is an essential factor for a profit-making organization and a nonprofit organization. Especially, ethical management is fundamental principle for social welfare facilities as a nonprofit organization. However, constant unethical behaviors have been extremely harmful to the organization’s reputation. The purpose of this study is to classify a type of unethical behaviors which are contrary to the realization of value for social welfare and help social welfare facilities vitalize ethical management by removing the causes of unethical behaviors. On that account, the following subjects of study are set up:

1. What are the types of unethical behaviors at social welfare facilities
2. What are the causes of unethical behaviors at social welfare facilities?
3. What are the alternatives to reduce unethical behaviors at social welfare facilities?
4. What are the plans to vitalize ethical management at social welfare facilities?
It is difficult to investigate the causes of an unethical matter at social welfare facilities because it is a sensitive issue. Because of the difficulty of study, there are not any researches done in this field even though it is an interesting topic. This study, therefore, focuses on a qualitative research through in-depth interviews with site experts, who are aware of unethical matters at social welfare facilities.
After the orientation, the fifteen site experts receive a questionnaire with eight open-ended questions through a personal email. The contents of questions are as in the following: whether or not, they have experiences to face unethical behaviors, what they felt at the moment, how they handled the unethical behaviors, causes of unethical behaviors, and etc. At the second stage, more results were collected from nine other site experts with the same procedure. Lastly, in-depth interviews were done with the questionnaire based on the results from the first and the second stages.
In the meantime, the unethical behaviors at social welfare facilities were judged by unilinear point of view like social ethics. Actually, this causes other problems, i.e. damaged image and a negative impact on fund-raising. Therefore, this study has three main parts: social ethics, business ethics, and social welfare ethics. This study shows causes of unethical behaviors and suggests alternatives for them with communal virtue of social ethics, social responsibility and producing profits of business ethics, human dignity of social welfare ethics.
Through these analyses, the following study results were achieved. The most unethical behaviors at social welfare facilities are misappropriation of public money and diverting funds to other purpose by the insiders like a corporate chairman of the board, directors, and employees. The second largest unethical behaviors are abuses of human rights like violent language, assault, and confinement aimed at clients and raising moral and legal issues by violating unethical behaviors both inside and outside of social welfare facilities.
In this study, all causes are divided into three ethical fields: social ethics, business ethics, and social welfare ethics. First, in social ethics disharmony, between social welfare site and the real world, conflict between consigned corporate and facilities, and limits of impractical budget for social welfare facilities had caused unethical behaviors. Second, in business ethics, dissatisfaction on personal desires, the connivance of the organization with unethical behaviors, shortages of working expenses and operating expenses had caused problems. Last, in social welfare ethics, no power to decide matters for the clients and value variances between operators(incl. employees) and clients had caused problems. Especially, conflicts of value variances are one of the most serious problems that cause unethical behaviors.
This study suggests alternatives against these problems for three different ethics fields. In the social ethics field, people need to improve their thought of social welfare facilities, and operators also need to have quick actions against changing social circumstances with improvement in working conditions and actualizations of social welfare systems. In addition, this study suggests building objective review system, setting up the proper budgets for social welfare facilities, and improving the conditions of contacting on consignment. For business ethics field, it suggests reestablishing values between individuals and organizations, improving the organization cultures, adjusting between the working expenses and operating expenses, and respecting character of public interest and human dignity. Last, for the social welfare ethics fields, the suggestions of this study are strengthening the power of self-determination, reestablishing the value of social welfare ethics among members of organizations, convergence of the values for both individuals and organizations, and introducing constant administration.
In the conclusion, this study shows the necessity of the ethical management with the integrated point of view for improving the circumstances of social welfare facilities. Therefore, this study suggests people can vitalize the ethical management at the social welfare facilities through reinterpreting the unethical behaviors with the integrated point of views, plans for vitalizations of integrated ethical management, and establishments of ethical management.
