Bernard is the owner and manager of a small auto–parts store. He thinks that talking about business ethics with employees takes time that would be better spent paying attention to customers. He also does not believe that he has a right to tell other people how they should behave. Is Bernard likely to create an ethical workplace with this way of thinking? Why or why not?

d. Bernard is unlikely to create an ethical workplace, because the attitude of top management influences employee ethics.

Explanation:

If Bernard does not talk and discuss ethics with his employees, listens to them and takes time to solve the problems, the great problems might emerge. This can cause a lack of ethical workplace - he won't know what employees want and he will likely go against their needs and wants.

Also, if he does not refer to what they should do in order to create a more ethical, pleasant and rightful place of work, this can't be made as he won't influence them to do so.

Only by referring to these problems and influencing the employees the ethical work environment can be reached.
