Ethics and Strategic Planning in an Organization ➔ A group of moral principles, standards of behavior, or values regarding proper conduct
Irene P. Banhan - Host
Dr. Pyrene T. Quilang (Dean of Graduate School) - Opening remarks
- Ethics and social responsibility can provide guidelines for creating educational and
business goals and strategies with the potential to enhance ethical and socially
responsive outcomes. Together, they aid in establishing organizational objectives that
set the tone for ethics and social responsibility and decide on strategies to meet the
goals.
- Ethics reminds us to examine our actions, right and wrong. It leads us to find our
true worth and makes us human and humane.
- Ethics in the workplace guide our actions towards moral responsibility. It keeps us
grounded on the belief that doing good is a virtue.

ETHICS IN AN ORGANIZATION
What is WORK ETHICS?
in the workplace.
➔ How is it different from morals?
➔ Ethics and Morals deal with distinguishing right from wrong. Ethics is associated with a
practical set of rules to be followed in a professional setting, while morality refers to an
individual’s principles. Ethics are the rules you abide by to remain with a community or
a profession. Morals are your values that run to the core or very being, and depending
on your profession, your morals regarding a certain matter can be stricter than the
code of ethics for the same issue.
What influences ethical behavior at work?
1. Individual Factors - pertaining to gender, religion or sector, educational attainment,
age
2. Organizational Factors - culture, unwritten rules that the individual consistently
observes, social tradition, incentives, ability to enforce ethical behavior
3. Top Management - values, priorities, gender,and religion
4. Policies and Codes in Harmony with Laws and Organization
Ethics influences the value system of every organization or employee by serving us as a
moral guide or base. It is characterized by living and doing business without destroying and
endangering the potential interest of others and the environment.

● Accountability and Initiative - recognizes that whatever decisions or actions they
undertake, he/she must willingly embrace the repercussions or implications. Initiative
is demonstrated when individuals pursue an endeavor that redounds to the
organization's welfare.

personal commitment to ensure that things get done.

5 Benefits of Strategic Planning
1. It allows organizations to be proactive rather than reactive
- A strategic plan allows an organization to foresee their future and to prepare
accordingly
