Ethics and morality are subjects of great subjectivity. What one considers 'ethical' may not be, in another's opinion. However, there are common agreements about ethical behaviour, these are known as social standards. (Which may or may not include legal restrictions.)
Different traditions and cultures have their own sets of ethics. Christianity for example, has very distinct moral Codes of Conduct. Some of these relate to human relationships such as the principle of not engaging in sexual intercourse prior to marriage.
Hence, unethical behaviour is somewhat based on your own interpretations of moral standards. However, there are many commonly accepted unethical behaviours such as murder.
Factors that can influence whether a person behaves ethically or unethically include personal values, moral beliefs, social norms, peer influence, situational factors, and potential consequences. Other factors may also include upbringing, cultural background, education, and level of empathy.
The five types of behavior are innate behavior (instinct), learned behavior (conditioning), social behavior (interactions with others), emotional behavior (expressions of feelings), and adaptive behavior (adjusting to the environment).
Human behavior can be classified into different categories such as cognitive behavior (related to thoughts and mental processes), emotional behavior (related to feelings and expressions), social behavior (related to interactions with others), and instinctual behavior (related to innate reflexes and survival mechanisms). These categories help us understand the complexities of human behavior across various dimensions.
The opposite of behavior is non-behavior or inactivity.
Prosocial behavior.
not acting unethically
An organization that does not fulfill its philanthropic responsibilities is behaving unethically
No. It resides in the realm of ones conscience. Nearly all people who act unethically first attempt to rationalize their bad behavior in order to salve their conscience for what they realize is really wrong. In fact, whenever one employs rationalization, it is a sign that they know the behavior they are attempting to justify, is questionable at best, and probably dead wrong!
People may act unethically at times and brokers are not immune. The problem could be financial, personal, or any number of reasons requiring more money.
Managers may behave unethically due to pressure to meet performance targets, a desire for personal gain, or a lack of accountability within their organization. Additionally, they may rationalize their actions by believing that unethical behavior is commonplace or that it will not have significant consequences. A toxic corporate culture can also contribute, where unethical practices are normalized or overlooked. Ultimately, these factors can lead managers to prioritize short-term success over ethical considerations.

Rangel has admitted to having 'acted unethically' on occaision, but never 'intended to break House rules'. A member of Congress may not act unethically WITHOUT breaking House rules.
Rhetorical skills can be used to deceive or to sway people unethically
Working unethically means engaging in actions that violate moral principles or professional standards, often prioritizing personal gain over fairness and integrity. This can include dishonest practices, such as lying, cheating, or manipulating information, as well as exploiting others or disregarding laws and regulations. Unethical behavior can damage trust, harm relationships, and lead to negative consequences for individuals and organizations alike. Ultimately, it undermines the foundation of ethical conduct that is essential for a healthy workplace and society.
Ethics and legality go hand in hand. Being ethical guarantees being legal. Being legal does not guarantee being ethical. Being unethical is not necessary illegal. A nurse can act unethically without being illegal.
Enron executives behaved unethically primarily due to a corporate culture that prioritized profit and stock prices over integrity and accountability. The desire to maintain high financial performance led to deceptive practices, such as manipulating accounting records and hiding debt through complex financial instruments. Additionally, the pressure to meet Wall Street's expectations created an environment where unethical behavior was not only tolerated but incentivized. This toxic culture ultimately contributed to the company's catastrophic collapse and loss of trust.
Untrue statement. Unfortunately, not all unethical actions are also illegal.
