IntroductionWhen we talk about ethics, we mean moral issues that govern a person or a group of people. For example, accountants have a code of conduct that specifies what is right and what is wrong. There are several ethical issues in the workplace, such as corruption, sexual harassment, plagiarism, theft... We will base this project on sexual harassment, theft, plagiarism and corruption. PLAGIARIZING. Plagiarizing means taking credit for work done or performed by someone (employee or colleague) and presenting it as yours. He might even take someone's ideas. This can be considered theft. Sometimes copying from yourself can be considered plagiarism (Girard, JN, 2004). This could be a result of technology, which makes it easy for people to steal other people's ideas, images, words and work easily. Borrowing someone else's work can also be called plagiarism. There are two common types of plagiarism which involve deliberately using someone's idea without giving them credit or acknowledging it is intentional plagiarism, and accidentally using someone's ideas is unintentional plagiarism. It is very true that some employees plagiarize without necessarily knowing that they are doing something wrong. Some may not know how to properly conduct research or cite sources. In this case, it is very important that management understands the circumstances so that appropriate training can be put in place. Consequences of Plagiarism Some consequences of plagiarism are: - An employee will be fired if caught, will be suspended, or may be sued civilly. Reputation of the company : Plagiarism ruins/damages the reputation of the company. It can be costly for a company, for example, if a company's report contains plagiarism...half of paper...rigged, fans who paid to watch or who made legal bets are deceived. Corruption is also linked to poverty as unethical transactions between companies and officials often involve stealing communities' resources or allowing transactions that damage their funds.
