The Virtue Approach
It is a very ancient approach to ethics which argues
that ethical actions must be consistent with certain ideal
virtues as they provide full development of our
humanity. These virtues are dispositions and habits that
enable one to act according to the highest potential of
his/her character and on behalf of values like truth and
beauty.
FACTORS AFFECTING
ETHICAL CHOICES
1. Pre-conventional level
2. Conventional level
3. Principled level
4. Transformative/ Servant Leadership
Pre-conventional level.
Individuals are concerned with external
rewards and punishments, and in obeying
authority to avoid personal consequences. In a
workplace setting, it can be illustrated into a
supervisor using autocratic or coercive
leadership style and with employees oriented
toward accomplishment of specific tasks.
Conventional level
People learn to conform to the expectations of
good behavior as defined by colleagues, family,
friends, and society in which meeting social and
interpersonal obligations becoming more important.
Organizational goals are then achieved through
collaborations with the supervisor using leadership
styles that encourage interpersonal relationships and
cooperation.
Principled level
In this level also referred to as "high moral development
level", individuals are guided by an internal set of values and
standards, even disobeying certain rules or laws that violate
these principles when required such as during emergency
situations. Internal values are treated as more important than the
expectations of significant others. People who are able to ascend
to this level are able to act in independent, ethical manner
regardless of expectations from others inside or outside the
organization or in spite organizational consequences for them.
Transformative/Servant
Leadership
In this level, supervisors learn to focus on the needs
of followers, empowers and gives them opportunities
for constructive participation in governance of the
organization. When faced with difficult situations and a
host of ethical dilemma, others reflect for a while and
ask themselves questions that will force them to think
hard about the social and ethical consequences of their
behaviors.
