Initiatives and Plans in Solving Unethical

Practices in Business Field

Introduction

In business field, member of the business or a company are expected to


have moral and dignity as well as responsibility and accountability to their
actions. Businesses also provides rules and regulations that were inclined to
their mission and vision, they also practice ethical principles in order to have
peace inside the company or the business however, some of the members
were not conscious to what they are doing, they don’t even care if it will cause
chaos to others and to the company they are working to. Sometimes, we
aren’t ready to talk about people’s philosophy in life because we don’t want to
ruin ours by knowing what is their stand in life, just like in business field, we
cannot force people to think the way we think, we are also afraid that their
principles might take-away our principles in life. I haven’t seen an actual
cases of unethical practice inside a company or in a business because when I
was working as an OJT, I have experienced being treated well even if I am
just working there for a short period of time. I also observed that those who
are in higher position are being friend with those who are not but I have
watched and read different stories about companies who has issue in terms of
ethical practices. In times of pandemic, we should know what are they key
concept that the company should have in order to solve the problems and
what are the plans and initiatives that they have to create in order to achieve
the triumph in amidst of pandemic. This research and concept will help other
companies to know how other initiate and make plan in order to solve their
issues. This could also be a guide for big and small businesses. This will also
address how their actions made their company grow and conquer all issues.
Background

Ethical standards are the ones that guide businesses in forming business
ethics. Ethical practice is building trust by role-modeling ethical behavior, and
applying principles and values consistently in decision-making (The People
Profession,2021). Inside the company, there should always be a policy or
practices that is need to instill to their members in order to have healthy
environment. Some articles says that there are several ways companies do to
solve unethical behavior happening inside their company. As a result to that,
Brookins (2019) in their study of “Ways to Prevent Unethical Behavior in the
Workplace”, concludes that creating a code of conduct, lead by example, and
show employees appreciation are just few that the company should take into
consideration in order to work with unethical behavior. In order, therefore to
achieve the proper handling of unethical behavior, Mayhew (2019) in her
article “How to Handle Ethical Issues in the Workplace”, stated that morality
and values are really the thing that is hard to handle most especially inside
the company but they pushed the legal process and slightly strict guidelines
that could help to prevent or handle this kind of situation.

Other studies also provides description and widen the idea of unethical
behavior and their plans to cope up with this. According to Emery et. al,
(2016), they presented the plans and initiatives in solving unethical behavior
by having pre-determined role, objective principle and policy which will help to
avoid toxic relationship inside the company.

Description

Plans of in Solving Unethical Practices in Business Field by focusing to its

unethical problems inside the company.

of their business.

neglecting the ethical standards.
