Rewarding ethical behavior
? Ethical behavior is driven by hw it is encouraged
and rewarded.
? Ex.Most honest bus conductor award
? These behaviors are observable
? Can be held accountable for achievements as well
as failures-both should be treated accordingly
? Financial or non-financial incentive for ethics
taken seriously
? When an e/e is rewarded for positive behavior, it
does so happen that e/e continues to be so plus
inspires others too.
