“…The application of the right "ethics" impacts the organization at several levels; individuals seeking employment with a trustworthy firm, the firms seeking value driven, qualified employees, the client seeking a reputable company with conscientious employees and an organization trying to build a name for itself would have all reached their goals and standard for conduct. However, in a situation where there is dearth of sound ethics, organisations report frequent cases of dysfunctional behaviour and unethical practices (Baskaran, Yang, Yi, & Mahadi, 2018) common with developing countries like Nigeria (Ayuba & Aliyu, 2018). Several studies have demonstrated that personal ethical orientation plays significant role in ethical decision making and subsequent unethical behaviours.…”

Fraud is an ever-growing problem for financial institutions in Nigeria, with criminals using a wide variety of methods. Unfortunately, employees were fingered in most of these fraudulent activities. Previous studies focused on contextual and organizational antecedents of motivating engagement in fraudulent practices and less on employees’ dispositional factors. This study examined the role of personality traits and ethical beliefs on fraudulent behaviour among bank employees. The study was a cross-sectional study. Three hundred and fifty-three (353) employees in the middle to junior level management cadre were selected through stratified sampling technique from banking organisations operating in the Ibadan metropolis. The respondents responded to a self-report questionnaire measuring fraudulent behaviour intention and red flags; personality traits and Ethical position questionnaire. Two hypotheses were tested using multiple regression, Pearson correlation analysis and ANOVA at p≤0.05. Results demonstrated that conscientiousness personality trait was the only predictor of fraud intent behaviour among the personality variables. Employees with Absolutist ethical principles reported lower fraud intent behaviour than those with subjectivist ethical philosophy. The study concludes that personality traits and ethical beliefs were powerful motivators for fraud behavior. Thus, fraud and HR experts were enjoined to utilize psychological profiles in fraud investigations and selection of employees.

This paper shares some findings of a study titled “A select bouquet of leadership practices advancing good governance and business ethics: A conceptual framework” undertaken in the pursuit of a doctoral degree submission. These findings can inform leaders by providing academic knowledge on the subject. Furthermore, it can support the enterprise leadership environment in transitioning from a physical to a cloud-based proximity which, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, must and is happening relatively fast.

“…Although there are continuous debates about employee voice behavior in organization, Burris, Detert, and Romney (2010) clarified that the outcome of this behavior is subject to and usually influenced by the perception hold by the employees and leaders in practicing it in the organization. Therefore, regardless of the association, this area has generated considerable conceptual and empirical interest since there are still quite a lot that are still unknown about this phenomenon (Morrison, 2011) since complications to business and societies continue to exist as a result of unethical behaviours (Baskaran, Yang, Yi, & Mahadi, 2018).…”

Business ethics has gained great interest due to rising trend of ethical misconducts around the world. While ethics has its impacts at personal, organizational and societal levels, it is regarded as a moral responsibility of various stakeholders including the leaders and also employees. Therefore, a leader is required to demonstrate an ethical leadership while employees should be given an avenue to voice out their ethical concerns as well. Employees may voice out their ethical concerns in the form of suggestion, problem or opinion while the leader should demonstrate their ethical practices through motive, influences and also moral character. In view of this, a theoretical framework is proposed by incorporating these dimensions supported by relevant literature for conceptualization of the research. Direction for future is also provided to validate and improve predictive value of the research model.
