Description:

Through a strategic alignment of organizational culture, policies, and practices, businesses can cultivate an environment conducive to enhance stakeholder satisfaction and employee wellbeing. Despite the increasing awareness from different stakeholders, many businesses have continued to engage in unethical behaviors and practices that have resulted in corporate scandals, legal problems, boycotts, negative social media campaigns and damaging images and reputational damage. With the negative impacts of unethical work climates becoming more evident, businesses are under pressure to adopt practices and processes that are more ethically friendly. This shift towards ethics and morals not only benefits the employees but also presents several prospects for businesses to become more trustworthy and reputable.

Advances in Ethical Work Climate and Employee Well-Being discusses strategies, and best practices for promoting ethical work climate and employee wellbeing by businesses globally. It examines the importance of business management processes and practices in promoting ethical organizations that tend to help businesses achieve the trust of their employees and integrity among other stakeholders. Covering topics such as virtual leadership, social responsibility, and micro-wellness interventions, this book is an excellent resource for business leaders, business managers, consultants, advisors, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
