ETHICS AS ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE
1. We sometimes have to choose between what we think is right and what’s best
for the company. Can you give an example of such a time and tell how you
handled it?
2. Can you describe your current employer’s ethics? Are there things you feel
good about? bad about?
3. Please provide an example of an ethical decision you’ve made at work and tell
how you handled it. What factors did you consider?
4. Can you provide an example of some past work behavior that you’ve regretted?
How would you behave differently today?
5. Have you ever felt the need to exaggerate or bend the truth to make a sale?
6. Have you ever observed someone else stretching the rules at work? What did
you do, if anything?
7. People are often tempted to make something seem better than it is. Have you
ever been in such a situation?
8. Have you ever had to go against company policies in order to accomplish
something?
9. Have you ever managed someone who misled a client? How did you handle it?
10. What’s your philosophy of how to think about policies? Are they guidelines, to
be followed to the letter?
