Confronted with moral problems every day, people make critical decisions based on their beliefs, which incorporate their core values. Understanding how values are formed and applied, and being able to assess those judgments, are essential to leaders who must guide and assess employees’ integrity and ethical behavior every day. Through readings, case studies, and discussion, students probe how executives and supervisors resolve ethical problems. They discover ways to develop and gain employee input to and support for agency and unit values. In addition, students examine the forces that currently guide professional and organizational behavior, such as the Constitution of the United States, judicial opinion, and religious doctrine.
