As a special professional ethics, management ethics is the sum of managers' code of conduct and norms, a special professional ethics standard and a moral requirement for managers. For managers themselves, it can be said that it is the foundation of managers' existence, behavior and development.
For enterprises, it is the value orientation of management, an important resource for the healthy and sustainable development of enterprises, and the source of improving the economic benefits and comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises. It can be said that management ethics is the spiritual wealth of managers and enterprises.
Management ethics is dominated by personal interests. Make decisions according to how to benefit yourself, and determine your own interests according to what behavior will lead to reward or punishment. At this stage, the actor thinks that any behavior that is beneficial to him is moral; It is immoral to go against one's own behavior.
Characteristics of management moral education;
1, management ethics is universal. Management ethics is a management code of conduct advocated and summarized by people in participating in management activities under the guidance of certain social moral principles and basic norms, which is applicable to management in all fields. Whether it is administrative management, economic management, enterprise management, cultural management, or interpersonal relationship management in units, departments, families and neighborhoods, we should abide by the principles and requirements of management ethics.
2. Management ethics is special and non-mandatory. The initial management of human beings belongs to public rights, and everyone can participate equally, and there is no coercion. Accordingly, it is not mandatory to adjust the norms of management behavior, that is, management ethics. As Engels pointed out, after human society entered the class society, management was branded with class, which has the nature and content of class.
