1. Explain in your own words in three sentences for each concept, what the
following concepts mean, provide an in-text reference from any source for
each of them, where these are discussed.
1.1. Ethical culture (10)
Ethical culture refers to the set of values, norms, and behaviors within an
organization that promote and prioritize ethical decision-making and conduct. It
involves fostering an environment where employees and stakeholders are
encouraged to act ethically, and where integrity and ethical principles are ingrained
in the organization's operations. Ethical culture plays a crucial role in shaping the
organization's reputation, employee morale, and overall success.
Reference:
In "Building an Ethical Culture: Tools and Techniques for Organizations," Linda
Klebe Treviño and Michael E. Brown discuss the significance of ethical culture
and its impact on organizational performance. They explore how ethical culture is
formed, how leaders can influence it, and the importance of aligning ethical values
with business goals.
1.2. Social learning (10)
Social learning refers to the process of acquiring knowledge, skills, and behaviors
by observing and imitating others within a social context. It emphasizes the
influence of social interactions, role models, and the environment on individual
learning and development. Social learning theory suggests that people can learn
from both direct experiences and indirect observations of others' actions and their
consequences.
Reference:
Albert Bandura, the psychologist who introduced the social learning theory,
discusses this concept in his influential work "Social Learning Theory" (1977). In
this book, Bandura explains how individuals learn from observing others and how
social learning influences human behavior and cognitive processes.
