Why do you think it is so hard for organizations to institutionalize ethics and to get people to behave ethically
1. Why do you think it is so hard for organizations to institutionalize ethics and to get people to behave ethically in the workplace? What types of individual differences make it difficult to enforce ethical standards? Are there any individual differences that make it easier to enforce ethical standards?
2. Watch the following videos, which are located in Videos: Assignment #2 within the Content section and on the playlist. What are the main takeaways for each topic (Workplace Deviance and Bullying, Dark Triad, Narcissism, Psychopathy, Machiavellianism, Sociopathy, Other Individual Differences)? Is any of this information relevant to how it is difficult to enforce standards of ethics due to individual differences, and, if so, in what way(s)?
3. Complete the following self-assessments. What are your results and what do you think about
them?

4. Think of people you have encountered in life whom you consider to be the most unethical based on their behavior. Share that example without identifying the person (by name or in any other way that would make it possible to identify them). What do you think it was about them that caused them to behave unethically? Was it their (lack of . . . or messed up) personal values? Was it simply opportunity and lack of self control? Was it necessity? Was it a feeling
of victimhood and a desire to get even or to get what they thought they deserved? Was it lack of thought about the ramifications of what they were doing? Maybe it was none of these, maybe it is something else. You tell me.
