In resolving dilemmas, there is a need of interpersonal and negotiation skills as well as the new application of employability skills—honesty, ability to work cooperatively, respect for others, pride in one’s work, willingness to learn, responsibility for one’s actions, integrity and loyalty. There is more pressure on people in oraganizations than there ever has been to do more with less and adjust quickly to changes. In response to that pressure, people may cut corners, may engage in expedient but questionable behaviour. All employees need to recognize the factors that guide ethical behaviour and develop strategies for assessing the personal and organizational ethics.
