Challenges have passed through my path of succeeding, but I learn how to live and learn from those mistakes/problems.

  • The Importance of Empowerment to Motivate Employees

    2268 Words  | 5 Pages

    Business people today suffer from stress and anxiety due to the pressure of striving for perfection. Workers feel as though they cannot afford to make any mistakes, for they could become expendable and easily replaced by the hundreds of thousands of unemployed in America alone. America is not the only country experiencing such strain. Psychologist Ethel Roskies of the University de Montreal has observed the level of stress in workers rise dramatically in recent years in Canada. “This is in companies where if I’d mentioned the possibility of losing your job five years ago, I would have been laughed out of the room. Not any more,” she commented. In a study of 1300 executives, she found that the greatest stress factor in the workplace was the fear that the economy will grow worse in the near future. Roskies observed that with this pressure, employees focus more on trying to do everything than focusing on and embracing their personal talents and what they contribute best. In her years of work, Roskies also noted that an empathetic style of management was most effective. Empowerment is a great part of that. (Ross)

  • Ethics In The Workplace

    What is ethics? Is ethics an ability that grows in us from a child or does our parents teaches us ethics? According to dictionary.com, states that the word ethics means, "the code of good conducts for an individual or group." Ethics also means, simply stated, that ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on. There are many characteristics of ethics. There are good and bad ethics. But when sociologist Raymond Baumhart ask business people "What does ethics means to you?" According to him, the replies he received were: "ethics has to do with whether their feelings tell them what's right or wrong, Ethics has to do with their religious beliefs, being ethical is doing what the law requires, Ethics consists of the standards of behavior our society accepts, and I don't know what the word means." (Wallace, 1985) All of those could be true, but the word "ethics" is hard to define and many views are quite shaky.

So the question still remains, "What is ethics?"
