DISCUSSION BELOW
How do ethics factor into organizational behavior?
Generally, most discussions that fuse ethics with organizational behavior reflects the individual aspect to moral responsibility. With this approach, every person in an organization is morally responsible for his or her own behavior, and any efforts to change that behavior should focus on the individual. Ethical leadership has been considered as a key predictor influencing employees’ moral attitude and behavior toward organizations (Mo & Shi, 2017). When we increase our understanding of the ethical values at stake in moral issues and increase the options available to us for resolving these issues, organizations will have a better awareness. The thought of ethics being a crucial factor in organizational behavior primarily reflects a desire by the individuals for the team and organization to do well. Organizations need to advance beyond a view of ethics as necessary for safeguarding their reputation and thereby avoiding negative media coverage or as a compliance to forced regulations. Great opportunities for organizations will come for the execution of ethical values in shaping the future.
How might the deontological and the consequential perspectives of an organization’s leaders and managers affect working with people in different countries?
Leadership with Deontological views are based on action that is independent of consequences. An action is right or wrong, not because of its consequences but because of its characteristics. According to John Rawls (Galisanka, 2017), people are capable of deciding, and ought to have the right to decide what they want and therefore there is never a question of forcing a good on a person or forcing on him more than he puts in a claim for. Now as we know, some organizational leadership may have a consequentialism approach by judging the rightness or wrongness of an action by the desirability of the outcome it produces. When working with people from other countries using deontological and consequential leadership can have a negative outcome on international ethics including moral reason, the moral nature of action, and respect for the moral law as a necessary feature of ethical action. Deontological and consequential perspectives can affects international ethics by its emphasis on the binding duties that individuals, organizations, states, and international institutions bear in relation to the determinate needs and rights of other individuals regardless of national residence (2017).
