Work Ethics Today's society is governed by the implications of rules, legal restrictions that tell you whether something is considered, in the eyes of society, to be right or wrong . All these rules were created to defend and maintain a strict idea of ​​ethical and moral values. For example, the “10 Commandments”, thousands of years old, were created to teach ethical values, the difference between good and evil. But who determines what is considered ethical? And what affects our decision to act ethically or unethically? The answers to these questions will be discussed later. Webster's New World Dictionary defines ethics as "the study and standards of moral conduct and judgment" and "the moral system of a particular religion, group, etc." » (1). Understanding human standards and moral judgment has greatly influenced modern business. Most modern businesses pay special attention to ethical values ​​and follow an ethical code of conduct. However, these ethical values ​​have not always been recognized; slavery is a good example. With the emergence of the Industrial Revolution, new ideas about management and ethical practices came into force, ultimately resulting in major benefits for employers and employees. By the early 1800s, the industrial revolution was well underway, and managers of industrial factories had little regard for welfare. be their workers. The main concern was to achieve the greatest productivity. Managers achieved this by matching worker skills with job-related skills. For example, for a job that requires heavy lifting, it would be a person in good physical shape (2). This act of matching skills is called the “scientific management movement”; it provides a good...... middle of paper ...... a majority of people would consider acceptable. If they were in the same situation, what would they do or want to be done? This method of determining what is ethical is the most democratic. Putting yourself in other people's shoes can help you find a suitable solution. Most employees, when asked about their beliefs, would consider firing someone for stealing commodities, too harsh a punishment, a harsh lecture may be enough. Now that the three ethical theories for determining whether an action is ethical or not are understood, it is clear that what is ethical for one person may not be ethical for another. Modern businesses will use their existing knowledge of human relations to cope with ever-changing ethical views. Although the understanding of ethics has changed greatly since the beginning of civilization, it will continue to change as new cultural norms are developed.www.philodialogue.com/10.html
