ABSTRACT
An applicant is being interviewed for a position in an organization. The human resources manager asks, “Do you lie, steal, or cheat?” The applicant replies, “No, but I am willing to learn” Or so the joke goes. While character is formed at an early age, human behavior is pliable, and it certainly behooves those charged with managing society’s institutions and organizations to understand what the important factors and influences are when it comes to ethical choices and behavior in their organizations.
