2 broad ethical theories
consequential principles
non-consequential principles
Business Ethics applies the above theories in context of for-profit organizations
Organizational (neg) influence on employee ethics is caused by:
- unusually high rewards
- unusually severe punishments
- overemphasis on results
Approaches to social responsibility, (ie. societal demands made on companies)
- resistance approach - eliminate, delay, fend off demands
- reactive approach - companies wait for demands and respond accordingly
- proactive approach - companies look for needs and find ways to meet them
definitions:
Morality - core values and beliefs that act as guide for actions
SOX - Sarbanes-Oxley Act - CEO, CFO of public companies must accurately report financial reports
ethical dilemma - all course of actions are unethical
What do people want from their jobs? How do we motivate them?
We take a look at Herzberg's Motivational-Hygiene Theory, aka Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, to answer these questions about employee satisfaction.
