Are you an ethical manager?

Article Abstract:

Ethical behavior can be considered relative to an era, a culture, or specific job pressures, leaving many people to decide for themselves on standards for right and wrong. Executives in many companies have to balance the pursuit of corporate goals with the ethical standards of those outside the company. Methods of improving a company's ethical climate include: carefully selecting employees who exhibit desired attitudes; determining the ethical values relevant to the the company; using ethics in job evaluation; promoting an ethical work culture; having managers demonstrate ethical leadership; and increasing employee involvement in decision making.

Can unions pick up the pieces?

Article Abstract:

Unions are in trouble today, but management should not write unions off. Unions have new potential constituencies in white collar workers and professionals. In addition, unions have experience in tactics that have proven effective for identifying and playing upon worker concerns. Managers who want to retain their recently acquired freedom from unions must use training programs and opinion surveys to keep in touch with worker needs and deal with problems before unions can enter the picture.
