Objective: to verify the association between the ethical climate and labor variables among hospital nurses. Method: cross-sectional study with nurses from a university hospital in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. A labor questionnaire and the Hospital Ethical Climate Survey - Brazilian Version were used for collection. Descriptive and analytical statistics were used. Results: two hundred and sixty-nine (269) nurses participated in the study. Among the socio-labor variables, education, work sector, work shift, leadership position, satisfaction in the work sector, absence from work, intention to leave employment and intention to leave nursing were associated with one or more factors of the ethical climate scale, that is, peers, patients, managers, hospitals and physicians, and also with a variable of general ethical climate. Conclusion: the ethical climate is associated with variables of training, working conditions, satisfaction and intention to leave work, which calls attention to the need to invest in healthy work environments.
