Document Summary
Ethics can be de ned as systematic thinking about the moral consequences of decisions. These can be framed in terms of the potential for harm to any stakeholders in the decision. Stakeholders = who is going to be impacted by the ethics. Are people inside or outside of an organization who have the potential to be affected by organizational decisions. Abusive behaviour, lying to employees, and con icts of interest top the list. Bribery, manipulating nancial data, and falsifying expenses are reported less commonly, perhaps in part because they are easier to hide. Sexual harassment also exists in hostile work environments, where unwanted and offensive sex-related verbal or physical conduct exists, even in the absence of any job- related threat: many organizations are slow to react to complaints of sexual harassment. The deaf ear syndrome refers to the inaction or complacency of organizations in the face of charges of sexual harassment. Measures to effectively deal with allegations of sexual harassment.
