Introduction

Ethics in Business

Ethical challenges in the workplace will be examined in this

study. To understand how their work environment
influences their decision-making, you'll look at how
individuals address ethical challenges.
 Normative theories appear to underlie the employees
• Relativism, teleology, justice, virtue ethics, and virtue ethics are among the
normative theories that employees should draw on while answering questions 1
and 2.
• It's up to the employees to decide what is moral and ethical in their workplace.
• Learned about other companies' ethics and how they instill their ideas into
employees throughout my interviews.
• Employee 1 claims that Alex's lack of expertise conflicts with Taylor's
instructions.
• For an employee to work, one would have to break with corporate policy and
follow instructions.
• Three of Alex's coworkers advised her to put her interests ahead of the
company’s.
• According to Alex's third coworker, she may be fired and sent to jail for lying on
her application.
 The response illustrates the many phases of cognitive and
moral growth

• For Employees 1 and 2, Alex putting her own interests ahead of doing what was
ethically right and in keeping with the business policy was preferable (Otaye-
Ebede, Shaffakat & Foster, 2020).
• Rather than jeopardizing her relationships with her coworkers, and ethical
coworker says Alex should have followed company policy.
• Employee 2, who claimed that Alex should report the actions of her coworkers
anonymously in order to prevent retaliation, advocated for a more proactive law-
and-order approach.
 The different working environments of the employees

• Employees in a favorable work environment adhere to ethical norms.

• Because of their employees' working circumstances, I would define their
company's work culture as happy and productive.
• According to Employee 1, the company they work for doesn't properly
outline workplace ethics.
• In the workers' view, all three firms had a culture of loose ethics and ethical
training.
• As a result, it appears that none of the three firms goes to great length about
what ethics are or how they may be used in the workplace.
 Recommendations
• Leadership activities, employee interactions, and manager-to-employee
interactions all contribute to the workplace's culture.
• Employees are less likely to go over their expenditure budgets when there is a
favorable work environment.
• As long as the company's culture is positive, employees are more likely to follow
the reporting guidelines.
• If employees have a strong working relationship with HR, they are less likely to
inflate their expense reports by lying about their expenses.
• The organization must establish its communication ideals in order to maintain a
pleasant work environment.
• Workplace morale is bolstered by a well-defined set of values and beliefs that all
employees adhere to.
