ABSTRACT

Missions describe the rationale for organizations. They are focal points for understanding why organizations exist; they remind people of why they go to work, what they should strive to accomplish, and what a good employee should work toward. They are motivational tools, a means to stay on track, and guides for action. Ethical individuals should embrace the broad missions of their organization. If they have disagreement with the techniques employed to attain the mission, they can choose to leave the organization or voice their dissent either through internal means of communication or through contact with external outlets such as the media.
