...Ethical Decision Making in the Workplace James E. Gleason BUS 275-H01 Calhoun Community College Abstract Business leaders struggle to balance the desire for profit and maximum shareholder return with corporate ethics and social responsibility. Unfortunately, short-term financial bottom line has taken the place of maintaining strong moral character in today’s business practices. In the United States alone, about two-thirds of the top corporations have been guilty of some type of corporate malfeasance. In the face of both damaging and publicly embarrassing litigation, business leaders now recognize the need for sound, straightforward ethics management programs in their companies that makes ethical business practices a top priority at all times. Top executives must lead by example and actively and willingly encourage ethical behavior in their peers as well as employees. The need for stronger ethics in business has prompted business schools to critically examine their business curricula and place greater teaching emphasis on ethics and social responsibility to ensure future generations of new business graduates enter the workforce with the highest moral standards. Keywords: ethics, social responsibility, malfeasance, business schools, business curricula Managing Ethical Decision Making in the Workplace Introduction Ensuring that the necessary steps are taken to create and foster a high level of ethics in the business practices of the workplace is critically important...

Muse Analyzing a Job - Rewriting a Job Description With a variety of age cohorts seeking employment, some would prefer to traditionally walk through a business’ front door and personally inquire of any job openings. Others would prefer to frequent different job search engines on the Internet in the comfort of their own home. Websites such as www.monster.com, www.careerbuilder.com, and www.simplyhired.com are great tools for job seekers and job postings are listed by date. For this analysis, the popular website used to search for a job posting is www.indeed.com and the selected job position is for a Target Team Leader in San Diego, California. The analysis will include the identified need, strategy, performance requirements, and the knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSA) required to satisfy the operational gap within the organization. The need identifies the open position to fill and why it is necessary for an organization to create a job position, while the strategy covers the approach used to outline the position’s details. The duties of the position will be included in the performance requirements and its distinction from KSAs will be explained as well. For most, job postings are a potential employee’s initial point of contact with a given organization and the posting itself can identify the need of the organization. Looking at Target’s job posting on www.indeed.com, and after careful...

...about Dr. Rizal. One can possibly wonder why we are studying our national hero as a subject itself. It is simply because Rizal Course is mandated by law under Republic Act 1425 or known as Rizal Law. Many may not be familiar with this law. This act was before Senate Bill No. 438 written and sponsored by former Senator Claro M. Recto and then written by former Senator Jose P. Laurel as R.A. 1425. On the 12th day of June 1956, the bill was enacted. Rizal law is made up of six sections that can be conceptualized in the law’s three major provisions. First, it directs educational agencies to include in the curricula of all schools, colleges and universities, public or private, the study of the life of our national hero, with emphasis on the original or unexpurgated versions of the Noli and El Fili. Second, it obliges all the libraries of all schools, colleges and universities to maintain an adequate number of copies of Noli and El Fili in their collections. Third, it directs the Board of National Education to take charge of the translation, reproduction and distribution of printed...

...The Human Element “Ethics” in Business Research Management Kanak Tara*, Archana Yadav** and Ritesh Kumar*** *JRF, Indian School of Mines, Dhanbad **M. Ed., Xt. Xavier College, Patna; ***Scientist, Central Institute of Mining & Fuel Research, Dhanbad ABSTRACT India, like some of the other developed and developing countries in the world, is greatly facing problem of ethics in business research and its management. The large amount of new wealth creates incentive to cut corners to get rich. The pressure to succeed at all costs has created a ‘cheating culture’ that threatens to undermine academia as well as the social and economic fabric of society. However, good business ethics help a society as a whole, and some say that good ethics can be a source of competitive advantage for an organization. Steps can be taken to improve ethics in business research and its management at the societal level, at the individual level, and more importantly at the organizational and the governmental level. In addition to ethical leadership, we believe that one key to improving ethics at the organizational level is human resource management. Improvement can be made in the areas of recruitment, selection, performance appraisal, performance management, compensation and benefits. Personnel policies can help ensure ethical conduct within the organization. This paper outlines and discusses the ethics in general as well as in Business research. INTRODUCTION Today’s challenge to business leadership...

...MGMT 6170 February 18, 2012 Harvard Business Case Analysis How would you categorize Kearney’s commitment to the company? How might you change or maintain this commitment? Eugene Kearney is very committed to Old Colony Associates (OCA). Kearney is committed in that he has been with the company for 13 years, loves going to work every day and aspires to maintain a higher level management position. However, he clearly needs to make improvements to his current level of commitment to OCA. Kearney needs to realize that commitment is the level of loyalty to the organization and willingness to exert effort on behalf of the organization. It is the degree of goal and value congruency with the company and the desire to stay a proactive member. Kearney is a great developer and teacher of people. He takes control of the situation and is not afraid of a challenge. This has created problems for him to effectively deal with managers and clients. He comes off as bossy, rude and unable to “listen” to constructive feedback. He seems motivated by the idea of promotion, high degree of job security and his ability to exert his influence on new managers. I believe that Kearny exerts continuance commitment, which is the willingness to remain in an organization because of the investment that the employee has with “nontransferable” investments. These investments include things such as retirement, relationships with other employees, or things that are special to the organization. Continuance commitment...

Lantos Professor of Business Administration Box D-55 Stonehill College North Easton, MA 02357 June 2001 Phone: 508.565.1205 Fax: 508.565.1444 E-mail: glantos@stonehill.edu 1 The Boundaries of Strategic Corporate Social Responsibility Keywords Corporate social responsibility (CSR), Roles of business, Stakeholder theory, Ethical CSR, Responsibilities and duties, Altruistic CSR, Strategic CSR, Abstract Reviews the development of the corporate social responsibility (CSR) concept and its four components: economic, legal, ethical, and altruistic duties. Discusses different perspectives on the proper role of business in society, from profit making to community service provider. Suggests that much of the confusion and controversy over CSR stem from a failure to distinguish its ethical, altruistic, and strategic forms of CSR. On the basis of a thorough examination of the arguments for and against altruistic CSR, concurs with Milton Friedman that altruistic CSR is not a legitimate role of business. Proposes that ethical CSR, grounded in the concept of ethical duties and responsibilities, is mandatory. Concludes that strategic CSR is good for business and society. Advises that marketing take a lead role in strategic CSR activities. Notes difficulties in CSR practice and offers suggestions for marketers in planning for strategic CSR and academic researchers in further clarifying the boundaries of...

...CHAPTER – IV LEADERSHIP LEADERS ARE BORN & MADE…. Leadership is the ability to articulate a vision, embrace the values of the vision and nurture an environment where everyone can reach the organizations goal and their own personal needs. Leadership is an indescribable ability based on concrete principles and a tool that anyone can learn that helps guides an organization or group of people in a beneficial direction or to a valuable destination. The ability to get work done with and through others, while at the same time winning their confidence respect, loyalty and willing cooperation. Before we get started, let’s define leadership. Leadership is a complex process by which a person influences others to accomplish a mission, task, or objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. A person carries out this process by applying her leadership attributes (belief, values, ethics, character, knowledge, and skills). The complete definition highlights the difference between simply managing and being a leader. Good leaders are made not born. If you have the desire and will power, you can become an effective leader; Good leaders develop through a never-ending process of self-study, education, training and experience. There is very little evidence that the so-called “naturally born’ leader really exists. Continuing and ongoing studies are showing that the concept of a “natural born” leader has little merit. One reason for...
