Question

Anika knows that her company has a formal code of conduct, but she does not see this code being equally and consistently applied to all employees. Anika believes that this sporadic enforcement of the formal code only enhances the ____ for committing unethical acts.

Answer 1

Answer:

Opportunity

Explanation:

A code of conduct creates a formal way of how employees maintain a standard of conduct while interacting and discussing ideas.

Such a conduct is essential for any organization since it implements the abidance by rules and organizational policies treating everybody equally and ensuring just and fair treatment to all.

In the given case, an employee observes the existence of a formal code of conduct at her workplace which is not implemented consistently at all levels and covering all employees.

Such negligence in implementation would lead to an enhancement of the possibility and creates an opportunity for employees to commit unscrupulous acts, being aware of the shortcomings in the implementation of such formal code of conduct.
