This article explores the ethics sensitivity and awareness of a sample of employees in six organizations in Kuwait. We identiy which sorts of questionable organizaional behaviors are believed to be most unethical by these employees, as well as which behaviors are reported to occure most often within the organizations. On the whole, the employees evidence a high level of ethical sensitivity, perceiving the moral hazards of all of the behaviors presented to them. At the same time, the reported occurrence of these behaviors within the sampled organizations is relatively high. We produce conclusions about the correspondence between moral theory and moral practice within the Kuwaiti workplace. We find a basic correspondence between what is believed to be wrong within these organizations, and the types of unethical behavior reported within them. In general, behaviors thought to be most unethical occur less frequently within the organizations.
