 Each organisation develops its own
culture partially based on the values
its founder wants to transmit in
workplace.
 A set of assumptions that the
members of an organisation share in
common also forms the organisational
culture.
 Organisational culture differs from one
organisation to another.

5.  Strong cultural and ethical standards
of an organisation results in positive
ethical behavior of managers.
 Ineffective organisational culture
may result in unethical behaviour.
 Admittedly, strong ethical behaviour
may cost the organisation.
 Top executives having strong ethical
and social conscience inspire their
subordinates to exhibit these values
by their thoughts and deeds.

6. How to create Ethical Organisational
Culture?
 Selecting the right leader
 A clear purpose and strategy
 A focus on doing the right thing
 Hiring the right people
 Firing the wrong people
 Run ethical training courses
 ‘Reward’ people for doing the right thing
 Tolerate mistakes (but not when they are
made repeatedly)

7. My point of view
 Fact: The National Business Ethics Survey, conducted
by the Ethics Resource Center, found that despite
rising employee awareness of formal ethics and
compliance programs, standards of ethical conduct
remained unchanged - or even worsened.
 Statement: The so called unethical people are not
necessarily ignorant of the ethical and moral values
but are so because of the culture they follow in the
organisation.
 Eg': Curruption became a part of various government
sectors because it was the culture that prevailed
starting from polititians at the top level to the clerks
and other bottom line workers.
