Ethics and individual behaviour [articol]

Abstract

The author stresses the importance of the fact that people who intend to work for different companies have to be aware of the company value system which they have comply with. Unfortunately, some of these values may not be congruent with the employee’s personal moral beliefs and ethics and this fact can create real problems to companies. The article discusses some of the factors that might influence individual behaviour in an organization and suggests that a way of avoiding these kinds of problems is to provide adequate training in applied ethics for both employers and employees.
