There are three major factors that can affect your ethical behavior:

• Individual factors, such as knowledge, values, personal goals, morals and personality.

• Social factors, such as cultural norms, the Internet and friends and family.

Values are an individual's judgment or standard of behavior. They are another individual factor that affects ethical behavior. To some people, acting in an improper way is just a part of doing business. Would you feel that it is ethical to make up lies about your competitor just to win a contract? Some people's standard of behavior will feel that lying for a business financial win is not unethical.

Morals are another individual characteristic that can affect an individual's ethics. Morals are the rules people develop as a result of cultural norms and values and are, traditionally, what employees learn from their childhood, culture, education, religion, etc. They are usually described as good or bad behavior.

- An employee's personality plays an important factor in determining ethical behavior. Do you enjoy risk or do you prefer the safe route? Individuals who prefer to take risks tend to have a higher chance of unethical conduct at work.

- Different culture have different norms that vary from place to place which is also a determining factor for ethical behavior.

Code of ethics: Formal statement of ethical principles and rules of conduct.
