Characteristics of an Ethical Organizational Environment

When we speak of ethics, we often focus on underlying values and principles. Much of that discussion is based on the individual. As public administrators, we need to be concerned with creating an ethical agency, not just developing or refining our own ethics. When we speak of an ethical environment, we are often looking at the organizational culture. An organizational culture is that collected of shared values, beliefs, practices, traditions, jargon, humor, and so much more that makes the organization unique. Based on your readings and experiences:

Question 1: What do you believe should be the characteristics or components you need to develop in your organization to have an ethical organizational culture?

Question 2: What do you believe should be the characteristics or components we need to eliminate from your organization to avoid having an unethical organizational culture?
