The presence or absence of ethical behaviors in managerial actions will:

A) influence the prevailing culture
B) reflect the prevailing culture
C) neither of these
D) both of these

The presence or absence of ethical behaviors in managerial actions will both influence and reflect the prevailing culture of the organization. Ethical behavior by managers sets the tone and expectation for the rest of the organization, influencing the attitudes and actions of employees. At the same time, the culture of the organization will be reflected in the ethical choices made by its managers. Therefore, both factors are interlinked and cannot be separated.
