Ethical Guidelines for an Empowered Organisation

Peter Jones

Chapter 15 in Ethics and Empowerment, 1999, pp 412-425 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The change of government in 1997 has encouraged questions about both the effectiveness and appropriateness of the utilitarian and short-term emphasis on economic success, profits and shareholder benefits that were the hallmarks of its predecessor. How, and it is indeed how rather than why, should businesses balance short-term economic success indicators with their responsibility, in the long as well as the short term, to all their stakeholders; not just those who own shares but employees too. Additionally, there are questions about the leadership models that are presented by people in senior roles in private and public sectors. Do they reflect the kind of practices and behaviours that they want to encourage in their wider organisations? Are their behaviours the right ones for others to follow — and what should be the ethical approaches for them to display?
