The Influence of the Organization on Unethical Behavior Name Institution Professor Date Organization culture entails the values principles and the way of doing things that is followed in an organization which tend to have an effect on the actions of both the employer(s) and the employees. The fact that the values and principles are shared by every member of the organization it means that it is important in determining organizational behavior and ethics. For the realization of the common goals of the organization then it is important that people adhere to the positive organization culture and aim to change those parts that are counter-productive. Codes of conduct in an organization on the other hand are the set rules and regulations that outline the expected social practices and responsibilities for every individual in a particular organization. It is different from the organizational culture in that it is an agreed upon goal and is working towards it it will be more easily achieved than if people were divergent in their pursuit. When goals are met it means that the organization is moving in the right direction. References Chan A. W. & Cheung H. (2012). The Cultural dimensions ethical sensitivity and corporate governance.
