CODE OF ETHICS
Ethics
At its simplest, ethics is a system of moral principles. They affect how people
make decisions and lead their lives. Ethics is concerned with what is good
for individuals and society and is also described as moral philosophy. The
term is derived from the Greek word ethos which can mean custom, habit,
character, or disposition.
Our concepts of ethics have been derived from religions, philosophies, and
cultures. They infuse debates on topics like abortion, human rights, and
professional conduct.

even certain supervisors.
However, there are benefits of ethical behavior in the workplace beyond the
avoidance of reputational harm. An organization that is perceived to act
ethically by employees can realize positive benefits and improved business
outcomes. The perception of ethical behavior can increase employee
performance, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, trust and
organizational citizenship behaviors. Organizational citizenship behaviors
include altruism, conscientiousness, civic virtue, sportsmanship and
courtesy.

Case Study:
Miss A recently started a new industry research job, joining the interactive
technologies team. In graduate school, her advisor had collaborated with
several members of the team on a number of research projects, involving
and highlighting Miss A’s contributions whenever possible. The team had
been impressed by Miss A’s work and recruited her as she was approaching
graduation.
Mr. X, the team’s technical leader had built a reputation as a brilliant yet
mercurial expert in augmented reality. His team’s contributions were highly
cited within the field, with Mr. X typically claiming primary authorship as
the team leader. Their work was also highlighted frequently in popular
press, always with quotes only from Mr. X. Despite the team’s repeated
successes, Mr. X would erupt with verbal and personal attacks for even
minor mistakes. He would yell at the person and berate them in internal
chat forums. On multiple occasions, women team members have found their
names removed from journal manuscript submissions as punishment.
Miss A soon found herself the target of one of Mr. X’s tirades when she
committed a code update that introduced a timing glitch in the prototype
shortly before a live demo. Infuriated, Mr. X refused to allow Miss A to join
the team on stage. Feeling Mr. X’s reaction was unprofessional and abusive,
Miss A approached the team’s manager, Miss L. Miss L agreed that the
experience was unpleasant, but that was the price to pay for working in an
intense, industry-leading team. Miss L’s advice to Miss A was to “Grow up
and get over it.

Analysis
Mr. X abusive behavior clearly violates several principles in the Code. His verbal
abuse caused harm and failed to maintain a safe social and failed to adhere to
high standards of professional communication. By removing names from journal
submissions and blocking Diane from appearing on stage, Mr. X dishonestly
violated these team members’ rights to credit for their work.
Mr. X’s retaliation and punitive actions of removing names and blocking
participation show a history of targeting only women team members. This
behavior is a clear abuse of power that limits these team members’ fair access to
the work environment.
Miss L’s behavior also demonstrating a failure to live up to the principles in the
Code. By allowing Mr. X’s behavior to continue unchecked and suggesting the
problem was with Miss A’s maturity, Miss L failed to provide for the
psychological well-being and human dignity of the team. Furthermore, Miss L’s
inaction illustrates a failure to support policies that reflect the principles of the
Code of Ethics.
