The present study was conducted to examine the mediating roles of corporate goal setting and goal orientation in corporate ethical values and work attitudes of bank employees in Nigeria. Correlation coefficients and regression analysis were employed. Results showed, among other things, that there was a significant contribution of corporate ethical values to work attitudes of bank employees in Nigeria (t = 8.119, p < .05), significant mediating roles of both corporate goal setting and goal orientation in the contribution of corporate ethical values to work attitudes of bank employees in Nigeria. It was recommended, among other things, that organizations should set specific, attainable goals and foster performance goal orientation among employees.
