Code of Conduct (Code of Ethics)
Formal statement that describes what an organization expects of
its employees
Not an effective means of controlling ethical behavior unless
integrated into daily decision making
Not effective unless the code has support of top management
Code must reflect management’s desire for compliance with
values, rules, and policies
It is impossible for a code of conduct to take every potential
ethical situation into account.
Codes of Conduct
16

Codes should have six core values
Trustworthiness
Respect
Responsibility
Fairness
Caring
Citizenship
The code will not resolve every issue encountered in daily
operations.
The code can help managers deal with ethical dilemmas.
Codes of Conduct (continued)

Enjoy their jobs and approach them with an almost contagious
tenacity, passion, and commitment
