THE ROLE OF MANAGERS IN IMPLEMENTING ETHICAL PRINCIPLES IN SELECTED ENTERPRISES OF THE WIELKOPOLSKIE VOIVODESHIP

Summary/Abstract: In companies, it is necessary to set boundaries and norms of conduct, to supervise their implementation, and to implement them consistently through the efforts of a manager who has an impact on the activities of his employees. The research goal is to identify employee views on the implementation of ethical principles in the company, as well as to define the role of a manager in this process. A hypothesis has been formulated: in the surveyed enterprises, managers apply ethical principles resulting from ethical codes binding in the company, known to everyone. The conclusions of the primary study on a group of employees forced the hypothesis to be rejected. They also showed that ethical principles are created based on a manager’s instructions or based on management/owner guidelines, and the ethical aspect is an important element of a good manager’s work. The application of appropriate rules may affect the functioning of the enterprise.
