The increased responsibilities and pressures to innovate brings purchasing managers into potentially increasingly difficult ethical dilemmas. In this study, we examine the relationships between organizational culture, learning, entrepreneurial innovation, and purchasing outcomes in different ethical climates. To address external business conditions that may influence innovation in purchasing, we also examine the moderating effects of technological and market turbulence. Data from 200 purchasing managers in multinational corporations were used to test the relationships through structural equation modeling. We find that entrepreneurial innovation positively affects the quality of the relationships among sourcing participants when operating in a climate valuing ethics. The study results are particularly relevant for managers concerned that establishing an ethical climate may restrict innovation in the purchasing process UR - https://pdf.sciencedirectassets.com/271714/1-s2.0-S0019850107X01913/1-s2.0-S0019850107001253/main.pdf?X-Amz-Security-Token=IQoJb3JpZ2luX2VjEMX%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FwEaCXVzLWVhc3QtMSJHMEUCIQCMazn9QOWluvB7rrlvFlbUQObBvgDHOBFp8EAvFJABKwIgUzVLiUY2PJBVgqaG1zrkmpENlXcBhN5T8g8T1gqVztIqvAUIjv%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2F%2FARAFGgwwNTkwMDM1NDY4NjUiDHNbi9ym4axNJ5UdFSqQBShio8JbNENi6rCooMEQbNb1JFDfRISBem9wvuyxd2a7SCnmE4nauuRoKXThLQiy5U9sKL%2BUSGTUYLEWd88QGwtTImCMSMvnYOP%2BYGLA7UGS2FC2cfzLoK1bW7yKwmbijJBf%2BI0PecxjHVTZObWh2ydOxOuOK9sTGa9TIlPnVjUtbhp0AlL6lILwQCC5wPt8IU8Q1z%2FyJzoyjnjk6v2qQVS38LIR58x%2BiXHAAgORWoWmf0oTKLf9tu%2B9XD10aGKLae%2FXZ1wiQFvyid%2Fa3lK%2B6ucFG8COGceiaJ1CmJ1XW29OIQZMr2YyjGrJSTcW7r95BqCPbUoVykhGMyHX%2FbswCbrvYNzobqalHKId8RVGACAYWZc1yBx6vpYCwXp4Cv1uxADA%2FFxZavVjGKB1c%2BXQ2mWvDGhDUYd6S%2Ba7mXp3wF4c6qpt%2BMF%2Fgoj6yWwedW5jlC8xifKvWYYFVovrqnMADxpYTF3zrvsL5hFfrbO%2FrVAvq6%2FypsRcO%2BqlaIt7SH6yFu2vofNXzVLCgSTSXH%2F0DeB0h2vnPxY%2FO%2BtkEV6LPkwKPOFsqoHFAan%2B6N50y0fDPJ5mzuXvsuQjbZZ%2BiHXT%2Bk8SuRB6u%2F6fzrxbDotjHz9JXIawio1sAz4tvy3WWNvIxeS6Ly3pfEF9ZVjjIt6iGvw6xmu%2FG26%2F2pWQW%2BlC32Fe8DWqmRrBCCfDIqGosQJWh6dR19H%2FW4aP8KhRWBNHS8zB%2BpnvCSNQ7MSZaxkcxt%2Bs5hJQZ3GKsPSgmt8mX2yUpljlAT36StrsOm76f35ggXgbZ3YREuCLpDnTGEObrtGJgBCLBC9CJY3kg%2B9uMDAFayNG%2F33sC8G5DcEVOhBFAFOChr0lW8gJiDtlzVkUgF5LMPqip8wGOrEB7zo5VPmycRr7sSvIZrdarim4tYV3kBGWM0a6K9v3v6lK08eg%2FXD0sjoGouyiWmoPs3Gzldks0JwUJR027vc2cRXKqUTtH9pwDNFQ7J0glcB7LX5amtlf7S3D3%2FSMbIKFkw6RknGww3hGNgqTR8ey%2FaezCKGUA0lJVYnjWxGfycxDbWFsDdmpYz1fLBSJxNd3NQSpowTHFB9lvkrN0u32skQci9HgcVyYUo3iTNdz1mD9&X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Date=20260209T134955Z&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Expires=300&X-Amz-Credential=ASIAQ3PHCVTY6P723XYX%2F20260209%2Fus-east-1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Signature=6c0bf610e18f3eac8f6dcc70071d3ec063571eb88925c53d786a2c14a6e6f46f&hash=2572b92fc2ee6794b2ee05e88e0bccfa87c3fc609568222c6210340c6f0ea21d&host=68042c943591013ac2b2430a89b270f6af2c76d8dfd086a07176afe7c76c2c61&pii=S0019850107001253&tid=spdf-2656de70-b223-4330-81b0-7488cc6755cf&sid=a475499449fb7847374abaa1bcab5d500186gxrqb&type=client&tsoh=d3d3LXNjaWVuY2VkaXJlY3QtY29tLmh1Yi50YnMtZWR1Y2F0aW9uLmZy&rh=d3d3LXNjaWVuY2VkaXJlY3QtY29tLmh1Yi50YnMtZWR1Y2F0aW9uLmZy&ua=1c1d5c02005c065b5250&rr=9cb3d5355cfa7e80&cc=fr ER -
