Which of the following statements is false regarding strong ethical leaders?
Strong ethical leaders are reactive
Business Ethics
comprises principles and standards that guide behavior in the world of business. Investors, employees,
customers, interest groups, the legal system, and the community often determine whether a specific
action is right or wrong -- ethical or unethical
Ethical Issue Intensity
can be defined as the relevance or importance of an ethical issue in the eyes of the individual, work
group, and/or organization. Research suggests that individuals are subject to six "spheres of influence"
when confronted with ethical choices: the workplace, family, religion, legal system, community, and
profession.

Gender
Education
,Nationality
Age
Locus of Control
This factor relates to individual differences in relation to a generalized belief about how one is affected
by internal versus external events or reinforcements. Those who believe in external control (that is,
externals) see themselves as going with the flow because that is all they can do. Conversely, those who
believe in internal control (that is, internals) believe that they control the events in their lives by their
own effort and skill. These individuals view themselves as masters of their destinies and trust in their
capacity to influence their environment.
Corporate Culture
can be defined as a set of values, beliefs, goals, norms, and ways of solving problems that members
(employees) of an organization share
Opportunity Factors
Opportunity describes the conditions in an organization that limit or permit ethical or unethical behavior.
Opportunity results from conditions that either provide rewards, whether internal or external, or fail to
erect barriers against unethical behavior. Opportunity relates to individuals' immediate job context:
where they work, with whom they work, and the nature of the work
