Q4. Duty-based ethics: It is my duty to follow through with instructions my boss gives me, even if I do not agree with the concept. It is my moral obligation to respect authority figures.

Consequence-based ethics: Even though some employees use the Internet responsibly, the majority of them are surfing the Internet for personal use. it's more effective to block all non-work related websites from the corporate Intranet, to ensure that the company maximizes workplace productivity. That's the most important goal!

Rights-based ethics: Every employee has a right to work in an environment that is free of harassment; that is why diversity training is such an important part of our corporation's orientation as well as being compliant with federal anti-discrimination laws.

Relativistic ethics: We're trying to hire more women and minority employees. Hey, the times are changing, and right now, everyone is saying that having a diverse workplace is the right thing to do, even though we used to discriminate against members of these groups in the past.

Human nature ethics: It's human nature to want to cheat the system as much as possible and get more money for less work, that's why we force all of our employees to punch their time-card every single time they leave the office, even for lunch breaks.

Entitlement-based ethics: We believe all workers are entitled to appropriate healthcare that meets their needs, that is why even our part-time employees have access to comprehensive care plans. No one should go without medical treatment if they are sick.

Virtue-based ethics: Every employee has a strong sense of the corporation's values and mission to guide their decision-making and receives an orientation in our overall philosophy as a company, not simply their duties. This sense of purpose should guide all of their actions.
