Military Ethics
Organizations Climate
The organizational climate is a set of characteristics that offers a vivid description of a
firm which differentiates it from another. It is composed of underlying values or rather principles
which act as a foundation of any company. The managing system of the military composes of
different leaders from various arms who make decisions concerning how operations ought to
take place. They are also in charge of ensuring that everything is in order to avoid any
unnecessary complications that may bring harm to the country. Management behaviors
ultimately reinforce the principles that seem fundamental to an organization. The social reality
also has a great impact on this climate; in the current century, you find that social media majorly
influence many individuals, and this affects how they carry themselves while at work.
The management system has also adapted this channel whereby you find some leaders
communicating some vital details through this channel which can contribute to risks in terms of
privacy. Leadership has a relevant effect on the organizational climate since they are the people
who give commands or whom to react to issues when they arise. The managers largely influence
operations, and they have the mandate of stating when particular events should take place.
Leadership styles should, therefore, be standard and focus oriented on ensuring that the
organization offers quality services and that everyone is treated equally so that it is perpetrated
outwardly. The subordinates’ motivation levels highly relate on how leaders treat them and also
the considerations offered to them while giving service.

Military Leadership and Abuse of Power
Military power is influential and has been a means of the incident for many nations
whereby the leaders who control it utilize it to carry out varied objectives (Martin & Lender,
2015). With the continuous evolution of events and times, trends, technology have evolved
increasing the magnitude destruction that is linked to military nature. By the utilization of
military power, components of destruction have been witnessed; the aftermath of any war has
also led to a relative amount of destruction to people. Ethics linked to military expect that;
leaders and soldiers are true to their boundaries and that they facilitate the protection of citizens.
When ethics are laid aside, military leaders take advantage of the power and abuse it. To
start with, one way in which military can abuse power include, warrantless wiretapping whereby
national security agencies tap telephone calls of citizens without gaining warrants. Another gross
misconduct from abuse of power is sexual harassment by the use of social media whereby a
service member decided to leak other service members’ nude photos on websites linked to social
media. Marines decided to share these nude photos of their women counterparts online and
created some crude comments on them which led to a scandal
Another common claim is that military conducts unfair activities such as; torture,
detention, and kidnapping of suspects; these individuals go through suffering without any
charges. The military uses the social media to conduct its surveillance activities. The surveillance
society is made up of private firms and individuals within the military to sieve out any
individuals who are suspected of a crime. Time to time political spying is conducted on innocent
Americans so as to gather data about antiwar activists. The abuse of material witness statute has

been abused for so long whereby individuals are detained for having witnessed an illegal act
such as that of 9/11. The military has also been accused of harassing citizens sexually or by
taking their lives without taking them to court. For a while the US military has been having
issues on sexual misconduct. For instance the Navy is reported to have issues with people in the
high rank whereby the leaders seek out to have sexual relationships with their juniors such as
sailors with the threat of demoting them if they do not corporate. This section is also said to have
issues with drunkenness and fights amongst sergeants
Brief Summary of the Military Organization
According to Martin & Lender (2015), the military organizations or in other words the
Armed Forces is made up of five constitutes which are; Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps
and Coast Guards. Categories of individuals in this organization are; active duty who are fulltime
sailors and also soldiers. They set aside forces that act as guards who have civilian jobs but with
time can be recruited to work full time. Lastly, we have the veterans and retires who members
who have worked in the military in the past are.
The person in charge of this organization is; The President of the U.S. A. Who acts as the
commander in chief and liable to prime decisions concerning the country. The defense secretary
has the directive to control of the armed forces and its branches except that of the Coast Guard.
The latter is supposed to be under Homeland Security. The department of defense (DoD) is
perceived to be the largest company in the universe (Martin & Lender, 2015). Each branch of
the military has its own functions whereby the overall aim is to make sure that there is peace and
that security is provided to all. Their missions are as follows: Air Force and Air Force Reserve:
This body provides air and space power; the team has a mission of flying planes and helicopters.

They also check on satellites. Air National Guard: it is a detached reserve that is under the
U.S.A. Forces, military & Army Reserve; this is a prevailing land power which shifts from an
area whereby they secure and instill order before leaving. Coast Guard and Coast Guard reserve:
Their primary function lies in domestic waterways. They carry out rescue missions, and they
enhance law prevent drugs at the coast. Marine Corps & Marine Corps Reserve: It is a US quick
reaction force which is equipped to fight in the sea as well as on the land. On the other hand,
Navy and Navy Reserve: They achieve their missions in the sea, air, and land. They secure and
protect the ocean all over the world in order to create peace and stability. This ensures that the
sea is safe for trade and travel.
Challenges Leaders Face in Today’s Environment in Controlling Organizational Behavior
Organizational behavior is relevant in making sure that company objectives are attained
and that things are in order as expected. Leaders face obstacles while trying to control this
behavior. Challenges faced include; developing an effective management that ensures that
employees have relevant skills such as; decision making, strategic thinking, time management
and job efficiency. Another challenge is trying to inspire the employees in the order they are
motivated to work smarter. Another factor is developing employees which involve a lot of
coaching and mentoring. Other challenges are also experienced when managers out to push for
team building and also the development of existing teams. Another obstacle faced by the military
is that of mobilizing and leading change especially to victims of war. Lastly, the management
goes through a hard time while trying to manage internal stakeholders into having healthy
relationships and creating a good brand for the organizations while handling other people.
Leaders ought to consult and believe that these challenges can be easily dwelt with to avoid any
consequences that may arise if the challenges are not handled with diligence.
