Question

Which of the following statements about codes of conduct is false? a. They are formal statements of what an organization expects of its employees. b. They help employees determine what behaviors are acceptable. c. They should be specific enough to be reasonably capable of preventing misconduct. d. They provide rules and guidelines for employees to follow. e. They address every ethical issue that an employee may face.

Answer 1

Answer:

E) They address every ethical issue that an employee may face.

Explanation:

Codes of conduct are all the rules that establish what is acceptable behavior and what is not acceptable behavior. Each organization should develop its own codes of conduct and provide them in writing to each of their employees.

But no matter how long and detailed a code of conduct is, it cannot include every possible ethical issue or action that can take place in an organization because the options are simply too many.
