ETHICS AND GOVERNANCE3
Introduction
Management plays decisive role in inculcating workplace ethics in workplace. Top
management requires establishing proper examples for their subordinates. Management
requires to acts as a source of inspiration and enthusiasm for the employees. It is typically
observed that team managers, leaders or top hierarchical leaders tend to influence their
subordinates to great degree. Superiors strictly require adhering to rules and regulations of
the organization in support of their employees to pursue the same. Shin et al. (2015) are of
the opinion that as companies develop or improve their overseas operations, intend to
decentralize their business functions and empower their workforce, it is essential for the top
management level to develop ethical practices which offer the essential training and
mechanisms to guarantee that their employees can make ethical decisions. Such strategies
will decrease organization’s vulnerability to misconduct and the harm it might cause to
revenue making, profitability, company image and management focus. However, Melé,
Rosanas and Fontrodona (2017) have claimed that while CEOs, COOs or top hierarchical
business leaders tend to establish an ethical workplace culture, forming proper foundation
provides correct direction and employees must show the accountability to follow it. The
following paper will analyse the case of an organization where ethical situation concerning
top hierarchical leaders have deteriorated severely resulting to unethical decision making
practices with the organization.
