MAIN BODY
TASK1
Discuss brief about ethics.
Ethics is defined as, work should be
done on ethical manner, that shows the
discipline, effective operation in the
organization. It includes various factors such
as, moral, principle, honesty, right, fairness,
responsibility, conscience, choice honour,
value, integrity. It involves systematizing,
defending and recommending concept of
ethical and wrong behaviour. They affect
how people make decisions and direct their
lives (Rubin, and et. al., 2018). It is
concerned with what is good for individuals
and society and it also describe as moral
philosophy. The main purpose of ethics that
has been viewed in several ways, it is the
discernment of right from wrong actions. It
separates that which is morally good from
what is morally bad, alternatively, ethics
purports to create the principle through
means of that conducting a life worth to be
lived. It is very essential in life for taking
3

good decisions that assist tell right from
wrong, good from bad, that give real and
practical guidance to human life. There are
various elements mentioned above that help
to human behave ethically when faced with
ethical dilemmas in personal life. It
illustrates the application of these values and
ethical reasoning in real life issues and
conflict.
According to the organization, ethics
consider as combination of various principle
and values that used through an individual
to govern actions and decisions. In
commercial enterprise ethics includes the
right decision, terms and condition and rules
and regulation. It shows that staff do work
with honesty and integrity that meets the
purpose of an organization to adhering terms
and condition. It encourages employee
volunteer-ism and often they donate
monetary value and resources to increase the
quality of life for those around them. Ethics
shows the management is work for together
in a group or individual for accomplish aims
and objectives for the organization
(Schaltegger and Burritt, 2018). If
organization have appropriate ethics and
values so business is able to run smoothly
and effectively, that business is able to
generate revenue and the profitability.
There are factors that influence ethics,
individual, social and opportunity factors all
impact the level of ethical behaviour in a
company. Individual factors involve
knowledge level moral values and attitudes
and personal goals. Social factors consider
cultural norms and the actions and values of
subordinates and significant others. Ethics is
a set of standard that decide the appropriate
action. An individual may be ethically right
and wrong its decision to perform that action
depends upon various factors. In the context
tesla, it is electric car organization that was
founded in 2003 a group of engineers that
wanted to prove electric cars are better than
gasoline cars. In order to design lavish cars
with high brake horse power, it has invited a
new number of innovation that is patented in
order to protect is competitive advantage.
Tesla have a mission with emphasis on
social responsibility that strives to develop
product that have both societal and
economic benefit. Industry analysts and
consumer see the high advantage in the
market place. Neither this a bad reason to
apply principles of ethics and social
responsibility, that is worth considering
4

another reason there are so many cases
strong ethical behaviour direct to strong
outcomes. Behaving ethically is an actually
good business.
Why ethics are important in the organization
It is very essential because,
employee have to follow each terms and
conditions that guidelines generated through
the organization. A company that is
perceived to act ethically through employees
can realize positive impact and improved
business results. The perception of ethical
behaviour can enhance the employee
performance, job satisfaction, organizational
commitment trust and company citizenship
behaviours (Etter, Fieseler and Whelan,
2019). The main aspect of ethics is about
integrity that shows the high moral
responsibility and honesty plays very crucial
role, being an honest individual means that
do not deceive others through giving out
misleading information. Workplace
ethics promotes teamwork and cooperation
that introduce the organization ethics
program aligns the behaviour of employee.
Workplace ethics protect organization
assets, an organization can reduce or prevent
property theft and falsification of documents
through implementation of organization
ethical standards. That also assist to protect
a company from loss of income due to
employees taking fraud leaves. It provides
emotional security, importance of ethics at
the organization workplace assist employee
to feel secure because there is no harassment
from other workers and the supervisor treat
employees with respect. In the prospective
of tesla motors why ethics is important in
business and workplace, now a day, when
gasoline vehicles are still the dominant
motoring fad in the world and when number
of people start to fight against energy
organization and car builders for protecting
polar bears and their icebergs. That
organization the flourishing of a new brand
enhance speed in a few years. The concern
organization promotes the public using clean
energy, significant technologies and lifestyle
as a goal to develop a sustainable society.
Ethics in tesla built a positive identity in
both motoring fields and the public. Tesla
has done successfully differs itself from
those car makers, making it more
innovative. In simple words negative ethics
that tell us what not to do and the goal is it is
to prevent a harm. In the context of positive
ethics give us guidelines (Hirscher,
Niinimäki and Armstrong, 2018). The goal
is to produce goods, the statement all the
employees will changes the whole tone and
focus that makes each individual responsible
for particular decisions. The major
5

drawback of commercial enterprise ethics is
that they can reduce an organization’s
quality to enhance to profit. Having factories
in developing countries can do cost cutting
because organization can have practices in
place, such as child labour and low wages
that also assist to enhance the profit.
Two laws in UK that promote good ethical
practice in the organization.
Fundamental values: This ethical
value is depending upon respect for others,
expressed by support for fundamental
human rights. Applying that political policy
to a vibrant market economy that produces
the outcome that society supports mutual
exchange by honest trade so as the improve
the common good. Trade and harmonious
society functions on the basis of trust. So the
purpose of regulation of business activity so
it is enable to widespread trust in trader that
is depend on sustainable and growing
economy can exist, which in turn support
employment, social, stability and
innovation. It includes consequence of the
finding of behavioural psychology, the
regulatory system will be most effective in
affective the behaviour of individuals that
supports ethical and fair behaviour.
Commercial enterprise should demonstrate
continue evidence of their commitment to
fair and ethical behaviour that will supports
to trust of regulators and enforces as well as
all level of management and employees,
consumer, supplier and other stakeholders
(Happell and et. al., 2018).
TASK 2
The concept initiative falls under, to show the obligations it performs to the society
Initiative term defined as it covers the self management skills that is one of the five key
and work skill for young professionals. It is already looking forward to develop professional
skills and traits. It is very essential in the prospective of employees because in the organization,
there were many task that has to perform by personnels, so of them are unable to do, other
remaining candidate willing to do that particular task, it gives benefit in term of appraisals,
compensation, salary and wages and many other prospective. So that employee are able to show
their skills as well as proving that they will continue to develop and grow in particular role.

career field. It is the quality to be resourceful and work without always being told what to do.

internal campaigns that look to improve an company's work environment, organization culture
and the overall enterprise strategy. Some of the organization initiatives can involve external
projects , such as: community services, or non profit fundraising campaigns.
The common thing of all business in term of initiative that is desire to make some sort of
improvement that will gives finally advantage the organization's bottom line. Organization
improvement initiatives could include a larger more inviting break room that comfortably fit
more people for a social lunch hour. Each employee feel like their desk chair is comfortable and
allow them to sample various styles. Candidates who stands in one place most of the day such as
cashiers, and factories manpower would probably appreciate an anti fatigue met to stand on.
Culture initiative are closely tied to workplace improvement initiative because both seek to make
employees feel happy and valued, in return employee retention increase that can save the money
due to the expense associated with interviewing and on boarding new employees. Organization
initiative tend to represent physical improvement to the company, where as culture initiatives are
not limited to tangible changes. In the prospective of the concern organization Tesla, it focus on
the stakes for company and parsing over every tweet by founder of the company Elon Musk for
clues about the car, cost interior and various kind of option will be available (Hawkins and
Turner, 2019). The owner of the company cautioned drivers to be quite careful, this was the first
