It is always very congratulated and commended when employees exhibits and reflect ethical behaviours which totally is admired and suitable for them to understand and also to accomplish expected business goals and objectives. But even with that, we cannot neglect the many majority of employees who still exhibit unethical behaviours and attitude in their places of work which somehow could be a threat to other employees working in the same environment, some of this on ethical behaviour and attitude exhibited by most employees include bullying, arrogance, lying, dishonesty, overconfidence, unaccountability, and insulting etc . Behaviours like the ones listed above is considered not to ever be part of a business employee because there was so much either him or her from accomplishing expected business goals and objectives and also they would obstruct him or her from carrying out his or her daily responsibilities and duties.

One of the main reason why some employees and workers display unethical behaviours and attitudes in their workplaces is due to the fact because they lack a reasonable and effective home training session. And just like we are always taught that "good and ethical behaviours begin at home". Sometimes they choose to display unethical behaviours in the workplace so as to earn a name for themselves. Business employers and superiors shouldn't be dumbfounded and unresponsive when they notice that a particular employee is acting illicitly and abnormally, far from the way a good business or organizational employee or worker should act and behave .

It is actually true that some business employees and workers are always showing behaviours that are questionable and totally unadvised. Some of these behaviours are far from what a business worker or employee should totally sensitivity and reflect in the workplace. Some of these behaviours include harassment and bullying of other co-workers and employees in business environment. And just like you have already mentioned business superiors and business employers shouldn't hold their hands watching employees exhibiting some sort of behaviours that are considered questionable and unethical.

They should be immediately called out, and questioned and if the business employer of superior who is merciful enough the employee exhibited such unethical behaviour should be constantly warned but if there seems to be no change in his or her behaviour that employees should definitely be terminated and relieved of his or her duty as an employee in the business organisation so as not to toxic or influence the behaviours of other employees making the atmosphere in the business environment inconducive for achieving business goals and objectives.

It is actually true that one of the most common cause of unethical behavior at workplace is the lack of good and proper home training. If you were never taught that such an habit is bad and could be injurious to you and your work, you won't bother about doing it.

Another reason could be the lack of passion for the work. When one is not passionate about the work he or she is doing, then the person will not obey the necessary rules and abide by work ethics. That is why it is always advisable that people go into business and work that they have the inner love and passion for to avoid such kind of scenario.

Moreso, something that can also cause this is selfishness. Some people act unethically so as to please themselves and their wants. That is when you see people embezzling company's funds and that is indeed unethical!

Some of these employees feel they know too much or everything and therefore think they're better than their colleague workers. So most times they tend to be abusive to their colleagues and these habits most times tend to create uncomfortability to other workers. Another unethical behavior at working environment is hypocrisy among some workers. Pretending to be good but secretly sabotaging other workers. These and many other bad attitude in work places can be very dangerous to the progress of businesses. So if employers do not put their eyes close and identity such bad nuts and get rid of them they'll subsequently bring down the business.

I think that in every business organization, one would always find one or two employees with unethical behaviors. Some of the causes of unethical behaviors of employees in their workplace include;
  • Lack of iinterest in the job: some employees simply hate their jobs, they do not have any interest in their job, they simply work for the pay. These kind of employees often exhibit unethical behaviors. I believe that an employee who loves his or her job would always try to behave in an ethical manner.
  • Another reason for employes exhibiting unethical behaviours in their workplace is unfavourable working condition of the job. When employees are faced with a poor working condition, they might exhibit some unethical behaviors in the workplace.
