Question

A set of principles and expectations that are considered binding on any person who is known as ________.

• A. code of ethics
• B. values
• C. ethics
• D. none of the above

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

code of ethics

The code of ethics outlines a set of fundamental principles which could be used as the basis for operational requirements (things one must do), operational prohibitions (things one must not do). It is based on a set of core principles and values and is by no means designed for convenience. The employees subjected to the code are required to understand, internalize, and apply it to situations which the code does not specifically address. Organizations expect that the principles, once communicated and illustrated, will be applied in every case, and that failure to do so may lead to disciplinary action.
