Courage and personal moral philosophy

LERMA BUTIGAN BAUTISTA

Businesses and organizations over the past few decades have faced ethical issues involving their employees. As a result, public trust in organizations has declined as more managers and employees are believed to be practicing unethical behaviors. Businesses today, meanwhile, are complex environments that challenge the moral philosophies of employees. Employees face dilemmas involving competition with rival companies in getting big clients, reporting greater earnings per share, landing a desired higher position, living up to expectations of superiors — in general, morally intense situations.
