    In order for the directors and executives in any company to know that their employees are acting in an ethical manner, they need a defined code of conduct that lays out the boundaries and freedoms for each employee. Creating this code requires a framework around which the tenants of the company can be developed and expanded to fill the ethical standards and expectations. The Global Business Standards Codex (GBSC) lists the eight underlying principles that provide a basis for evaluating and interpreting ethical behavior (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009). By using these principles, a company’s directors and executives can determine if they are considering all ethical aspects in their code of conduct.…

    At&T Code of Ethics

    A little known fact that I just saw on a trivia show about a month ago dealt with AT&T. I was shocked to find out that AT&T stands for the “American Telephone and Telegraph” company which began around the end of the 19th century. With over a century of technology and personnel changes on every level, the company must be doing something right to still be going so strong after so long. Many companies suffer and eventually file for bankruptcy after too many competitors enter their market. Blockbuster and Hostess both experienced high customer demand for years but eventually went under like so many others. The factors that led up to their demise may have been poor food costs, unexpected expenses, or even deviation from a code of ethics. A company needs a code of ethics to operate efficiently and effectively. One online site states the code of ethics as being “a set of principles of conduct within an organization that guide decision making and behavior. The purpose of the code is to provide members and other interested persons with guidelines for making ethical choices in the conduct of their work” (USLegal Inc., 2013, para. 1).…

Company X is an equal opportunity employer and is fully committed to providing a workplace that is free of discrimination or harassment of any type. The law is very clear regarding this matter and Company X will not tolerate discrimination against another person that includes, but is not limited to, race, sex, age, religious affiliation, national origin, disabilities, or any other class that is offered protection by federal, state or local laws. In addition, harassment of any nature will not be tolerated. Harassment in the work place can take many forms that can include, but is not limited to, unwanted sexual advances, derogatory statements or jokes, lewd emails, unwanted touching, and leering at someone are a few examples of actions that could be considered harassment.

    In a professional capacity many face predicaments at work where the ethics of an organization are not in line with that of the employee. This may cause conflict for the individual or the organization. During my studies at University of Phoenix I have been involved with an experience that I believed was ethically irresponsible. The organization hierarchy, my responsibility as an employee, and new skills learned as a student contributed to the way I handled the situation. With my Bachelors program finished, I have even more insight of other options that may have been considered. The following paper details the experience I had.…

    Ethics and moral obligations are issues we all encounter at one time or another. In the professional setting, all people should act in a manner that would uphold the good of society. To be ethical, one has to determine their obligations, moral ideas, and moral philosophy (Boatright, p. 19, 2009). The case analysis involving Jacob Franklin was a perfect example of how an individual can face the dilemma of doing what is right or wrong. Businesses have their own code of ethics, and the employees within the business have to determine whether or not they will follow the company’s code of conduct. I will discuss several ethical issues in the case analysis including; failure to report information, remaining silent regarding faulty equipment, and paying cash as a form of consideration to clients once the contract was signed. Ethical behavior in business is consistent with the principles, norms and standards of business practices agreed upon by society (Boatright, p.4, 2009). Jacob Franklin decides to go against the code of ethical behavior for job security and personal gain.…
