ethical practices in any
situation.
12. The true test of this leadership is in the decision-
making process when there is a choice between what
is ethically responsible and what will result in profit or
gain.
Leaders who can consciously choose the path that is

These companies are required to
change quickly in an anticipation
of customer needs.

38. In the environment, personal

lower in exchange for a high
level consistency, conformity,
efficiency, and integration.
39. Because of the inflexibility of
this type of culture, many
organizations are forced to
change to a different, more
flexible culture.
40. No matter which culture is
promoted by organizational leaders,
the point is that the organizational
culture needs to fit with the
organization’s strategy and
environment.
41. For healthy organizational
culture to flourish, elements of
key values must be in place
and practiced.
This values begin with trust as
an underlying integral
premise.
43. SHORE (2017) stated that
ORGANIZATIONAL TRUST
is essential ingredient,
what he labelled as
lubricants, facilitating
everyday business and
interactions.
44. People can trust other people to
follow through with their work
and commitments just as people
in the community can depend
on organizations to uphold their
words and promises to them.
45. Hold a high value in organizations

justice with a focus on
trust is essential for an
organization to flourish.
48. Practicing the virtue of justice
promotes fair distribution among
individuals in the community
while” trust is the adhesive that
binds its members.”
49. According to Gutmann (1995, as sited in
Williams, 2006, these 2 principles must be
maintain so that community of individuals it
serves can have a sense of fairness:
1. NONDISCRIMINATION in the moral standing
of each person.
2. NONREPRESSION so that each person has a
deliberate voice if so chosen.
51. Although the key virtues of
fairness, honesty, integrity,
respect for others, promise
keeping, and prudence are the
typical values seen in
organizations, the vision and
mission will often determine
the differential values within
each organization.
52. Some differential values are team
work, community, achievement,
competence, knowledge, creativity,
innovation, agility, having fun,
leading example, valuing diversity,
encouraging others, and
encouraging risk-taking.
53. Organization needs to define
their values operationally
through their philosophy and
mission; likewise, organizations
must define their ethical
practices in writing and verbal
communication.
54. Jack Welch , past chairman and
CEO of Gen. Electrics, once said
“Good business leaders create a
vision, articulate the vision,
passionately own the vision, and
relentlessly drive it to
completion.”
55. Trust in organizations is an
obscure concept that
consist of a web of
convoluted relationships.
56. A violation of trust in organization

angry and sarcastic remarks by
personnel, especially if trust has
been previously entrenched
throughout the organizational
levels.
57. It is less forgiving than
in a relationship where

2. Trust increases strategic alliances,
teamwork, and productivity;
59. 3. Some personnel (like nurses)
experience a more positive practice
environment as a result of trust;
4. It increased empowerment,
autonomy, and overall job
satisfaction because of trust.
60. Organizations are sometimes
compared to people in that an
organization functions as a moral
agent that can be held

however, organizational ethics
“focuses on the choices of the
individual and organization.
61. The term ORGANIZATIONAL ETHICS is
broad concept that includes not only
culture and trust, but also processes,
outcomes, and character denotes “a way
of acting, not a code of principles.
it is the heart, pumping blood that
perfuse the entire organization with
common sense of purpose and a shared
set of values.”
62. It refers to an organizations’
attempt to define its mission
and values, recognize values
that could cause tension, seek
