    CHALLENGES TO ETHICAL BEHAVIOR

    Introduction
     Paying attention to Ethics makes good business sense. We create goodwill for
    our companies and enhanced our chance of success when we meet our
    obligation and treat people fairly and honesty.
     Ethical Behavior is important in any place. Everywhere business conduct ethical
    always matters.
     When we heard the word “ethics” several ideas come to our mind most of those
    are good versus bad or right versus wrong.
     In general, the proper role of corporate management in promoting business
    ethics involves clarifying and enforcing expectation, listening to and respecting
    diverse vies on various issues, acting consistently over time and creating an
    atmosphere free from harassment and inequality.
     A professional code of Ethics informs the public what to expect of a company and
    its employee.

    What is Ethical behavior?


     Dictionary.com defines that Ethics as a system of moral principles: The ethics of
    a culture. The rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of
    human action or a particular group, culture, profession etc.: medical ethics;
    Christian ethics, etc.
     It is characterized by honesty, fairness and equity in intrapersonal, professional
    and academic relationships and in research and scholarly activities.
     It respects the dignity, diversity and rights of individuals and groups of people.
     Black’s Law Dictionary defined as “a consensus of expert opinion as to the
    necessity of professional standards”. It is also defined Ethics in terms of behavior
    and guidelines among the members of a profession/professional organization
    and their duties towards one another, clients and the public.
     Aristotle defined ethics as “practical wisdom”. He also believed that ethics
    related to what should or should not be done with the regard to the things are
    good or bad for an individual. He also said “we are not studying in order to know
    what virtue is but to become good, for otherwise there would be no profit in it”.

    ETHICAL BEHAVIOR AT WORK


     ETHICAL – Can be nebulous and open to interpretation
     ETHICAL BEHAVIOR – Doing the right thing and adhering to professional
    standards.
     CODIFIED SET OF ETHICAL STANDARDS – This code can help to provide
    employees example of moral quandaries.
     PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION – If you are part of your industry this can be a
    great source.
     ORGANIZATION – have many guidelines that we can use.
     DO-IT-YOURSELF JOURNEY – it is a journey that we need to embark for our
    Ethical guide.

    CREATING YOUR OWN CODE OF ETHICS


     Consider why you want to record your standards in the first place.
     While your industry may have unique ethical considerations, there are a few
    things almost all codes should address.
     Your guidelines should discuss topics.
     Your code of ethics should also clearly outline a protocol for when things go
    wrong.
     Employees should know who to tell if they witness unscrupulous behavior.

    HOW TO HIRE ETHICAL PEOPLE


    1. ETHICAL BEHAVIOR STARTS WITH YOU
    - It's nearly tough to persuade your employees to act morally if you don't.
    After all, it's hard to trust someone's counsel if she doesn't follow it.

    2. REGULAR TRAINING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES


    - You might not have the knowledge or experience to respond to a specific
    ethical issue. You can hire professionals who devote their lives to learning
    and educating about these topics. In addition, as the world evolves,
    continual training can bring fresh perspectives. The advent of social
    media, for example, has prompted new ethical considerations for persons
    working in healthcare and other information-sensitive fields. With the
    recent HIPAA violations and data leaks, social media has become a hot
    topic in the realm of business ethics.

    3. ENFORCE YOUR RULE


    - Employees that break your company's ethical standards should be
    disciplined appropriately. Redirection or a verbal warning may be used in
    some cases. If the infraction is severe, such as sexual harassment or
    theft, you may need to release the person or pursue legal action. In any
    case, following the consequences indicated in your code of ethics
    demonstrates how important it is to your company.
    4. RECOGNIZE INTEGRITY WHEN YOU SEE IT.
    - When you see an employee choose that path in the face of diversity.

    5. OPEN AND HONEST COMMUNICATION IS KEY TO CREATING AN ETHICAL


    BUSINESS
    - Leaders should make sure to talk to subordinates about the evolving
    situation
    - Try making incremental changes that are more likely to stick.

    EXAMPLES OF UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR


     UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AMONG INDIVIDUALS
    - To people with high ethical standards, the question of right vs. wrong is
    clear. Societies reinforce the accepted ethics of individuals with laws and
    consequences.
    Examples:
     A teenager lies to their parents about where they were for the
    evening.
     You lie on your resume in order to get a job.

     UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AMONG BUSINESSES


    - Business ethics are so important that the most companies have formal
    codes of ethics to make their expectations clear. They say some unethical
    behaviour in the workplace are illegal as well as unethical.

    Examples:
     A chemical company dumps pollutants into the water supply rather
    than cleaning up the pollution properly.
     A company refuses to honor a warranty claim on a defective
    product.
     UNETHICAL BAHAVIOR BY PROFESSIONALS
    - Doctors and lawyers are bound by a stricter code of ethics because they
    are taking care of and representing people who trust them.
    Examples:
     A doctor dates a patient in their care.
     A lawyer will not return money or provide a settlement that was
    being held for a client.

     UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR AMONG POLITICIANS AND THE GOVERNMENT


    - We can also see examples of unethical behavior in the political world.
    Some politicians walk a fine line between getting elected and remaining
    ethical, and many government struggles with upholding rights-based
    ethics for their citizens
    Examples:
     CORRUPT BEHAVIOR
    It is a dishonest behavior by those in position of power, such as managers
    or government officials.
     A person in a position of power closes traffic lanes to intentionally
    create a traffic jam because residents in that city are not likely to
    vote for them in an election.

     ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR
    - It is also a common immorality in the work place. This behavior can take
    many upsetting forms, such as racism, misogyny, sexual harassment and
    emotional abuse.
     THEFT
    - It is another all-too-popular form of unethical behavior. It is defined as the
    action or crime of stealing. Theft is the taking of another person’s property
    or services without that person’s permission or consent.

    HOW TO TEACH EMPLOYEES ETHICAL BEHAVIOR


    All managers within your organization should display ethical behavior
    whether or not someone is watching.
    1. ETHICAL BEHAVIOR STARTS WITH GOD
    - It can be downright impossible to get your employees to act morally.
    2. REGULAR TRAINING FOR ALL EMPLOYEES
    - You can hire people who spend their lives studying and teaching those
    subjects.
    3. ENFORCE YOUR RULES
    - Employees who violate your company’s ethical standards should face
    appropriate repercussion.

    DOWNFALLS OF UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR


     Untrustworthy conduct has genuine results for both people and organizations.
    You'll lose your work and notoriety, organizations can lose their validity, common
    assurance and efficiency can decay, on the conduct can result in noteworthy
    fines and or monetary misfortune.
     Destroy the company
     Hurt the business
     Affect employees

    If news gets out that a company has sketchy professional practices, it can spell
    disaster for the bottom line. With more consumers paying attention to company
    ethics, one news story about improper behavior can sink a small business.
    (Mackenzie, 2018)
