The quantitative research method was used in the research and the convenience sampling method was used in collecting the data. The frequency analysis, difference analysis, and relationship analysis were conducted through Jamovi software. Research findings show that the ethical perceptions of housekeeping department employees are high. Further, male employees' perceptions of ethics were higher and there was no significant difference according to their age and educational level. There was no significant relationship between employees' job satisfaction levels and their perceptions of ethics.
