Abstract

Being ethical is about consciously making choices that reflect what you care about most, believe in, and truly value. The organizations we work for are platforms for executing our ethical values. Ask yourself, do you value being morally responsible at work? This means taking charge of your own behavior to ensure that your values are demonstrated in what you do. Many of us end up spending time and energy in service of our immediate demands and/or fulfilling short-term wants and desires. Rather than valuing being responsible, which, in and of itself is at the crux of being ethical, we often behave in ways that demonstrate how much we value fulfilling short-term gratification or other priorities.
