Abstract

In the following, we will deal with the central question of business ethics: How can the behavior of employees be influenced in such a way that ethical behavior is encouraged:

  1. 1.

    To avert damage to economic activity for third parties (interest of society)

  2. 2.

    To avert damage to economic activity for the company (interest of the company)

  3. 3.

    To increase the productivity of interpersonal cooperation (interest of the company and society)

The goal of ethical personnel development is to increase the moral competence of the em-ployees. An immediate advantage is the avoidance of scandals and court proceedings and thus a better reputation. Indirect advantages, such as a higher level of employee satisfaction and ultimately higher productivity have already been shown above. Furthermore, as we have seen, the ethical preconditions are the basis for overcoming moral hazards, that is, the pursuit of corporate objectives by the executive without enriching the company at the expense of the principal. Ethics thus ensures motivation and productivity. Regular behavior evaluations as well as attitude and character evaluations should also reveal the target and actual deviations of the job requirements. These gaps are then closed by ethical personnel development measures. If this is not successful, the points must be changed internally or externally.
