Module 5 Assignment (150 possible points)

Name: ______________________________________________________

All assignments are to be completed individually without the assistance of classmates or anyone

else. If you have questions, contact the professor who will be glad to help you. By turning in this

assignment, you are stating that this work is yours alone.

I believe this section of material is a very valuable part of Business Ethics. As a manager,

team leader, worker at a company, these are the things that can be controlled and

manipulated by the company to get “good” behavior or lead to “bad” behavior regardless

of the type of people working for you. Much of this boils down to psychology and human

behavior. So I want you to see if you can find the take away – the thing that a manager

needs to understand – to get the behavior he or she wants from people within the

organization. We will assume the manager wants to get ethical behavior.

DISCUSSING EACH ORGANIZATIONAL FACTOR (The discussion of each factor is

worth 10 points for a total of 90 points)

You need to work on this assignment as we cover the material.

1. Review the posted Organizational Factors Powerpoint Slides.

2. Watch the posted clips or look at the posted material for each Organizational

Factor.

3. Then for each factor -- tell me what your observations from that material and tell

me what a manager can do to use this information to get ETHICAL behavior from

employees.

Organizational Factor: CULTURE – WHAT IS REWARDED AND PUNISHED

1. Think about the articles about Wells Fargo and the resulting bad behavior and the articles

you read about the importance of culture. What impact does culture have on the behavior

of people within the organization?

Organizational culture has a significant influence on communication, motivation,

individual learning, and organizational values, collective decision-making, and conflict

resolution.

2. Also consider the readings and understanding that humans do that behavior that is

rewarded and avoid behavior that is punished, what can a manager do to use this “factor”

to get ethical behavior in the organization?

Reward and punishment can be used to reinforce or discontinue certain morals in the

organization. For instance, managers can reward good behavior through

acknowledgement, incentive and promotion and discontinue bad behavior through

punishment.

Organizational Factor: LEADERSHIP

1. What impact do leaders have on organizational ethics? Explain.

The nurturing part of leadership has the potential to elevate an institution's culture and

employee values to more ethical standards of conduct. By exemplifying ethical

leadership, leaders create a culture of transparency, which fosters a feeling of confidence

and motivates subordinates to embrace and follow the leader's vision.

2. What does a manager need to understand about leadership buy in to help him or her get

ethical behavior from the people within the organization?

Employee engagement grows when leaders subscribe into their organization's employee

engagement plan. When workers believe their leaders care about them, set the proper

direction, and are dedicated to making their workplace an excellent place to work.

Organizational Factor: CONFORMITY

1. What do you observe about human’s tendency or need to conform?

Conformity comprises obedience and submission since as it represents conduct that happens

as a consequence of the influence of others - regardless of the type of that influence. A

positive corporate policy will motivate employees to acquire sound morals.

2. How can a manager use this understanding of the need of humans to conform to get ethical

behavior from people in his/her company?

As people tend to conform to the dominant vices around them, it is essential that managers

develop policies that ensures majority of their employees develop positive moral, this way

every individual will learn to cooperate and behave morally.

Organizational Factor: GROUP THINK

The PowerPoint slides are the most helpful for understanding group think. Also, focus on the

warning signs that it is occurring and why it is bad for an organization if it occurs.

1. Why does group think occur in organizations?

Groupthink represent a phenomena that happens whencomes to an agreement without

using critical thinking or weighing the ramifications. Groupthink is motivated by a shared

goal to maintain the group's equilibrium.

2. How can a manager use this understanding the dangers of group think to put things in

place to prevent it. Why would group think lead to unethical behavior from people in

his/her company?

To prevent groupthink within an organization, Managers need to have a transparent

decision-making process in which every person in the organization understand that their

input will count.

Organizational Factor: RELUCTANCE TO GET INVOLVED
