not rationally verifiable cannot be considered
justifiable. From this perspective, ethical principles need not derive their
authority from religious doctrine. Instead, these principles are upheld for
their value in promoting independent and responsible individuals—people capable
of making decisions that maximize their well-being while respecting others'
well-being.

Codes of ethics are common tools that describe the standards and
values of organizations. Codes focus attention on important ethical behaviors,
outline expectations, protect employees from lawsuits, and help co-workers
judge themselves when acting inappropriately (Johnson, 2021). While codes of
ethics provide positive benefits within organizations, skeptics claim that
codes can often be too vague to be useful, do not always improve organizational
climate, are hard to apply across cultures, and often fail to spell out which
ethical obligations should take priority (p. 338). However, Johnson concluded
that creating codes of ethical standards are critical elements of
organizational integrity.
