Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

These actions all involve dishonesty, deception, or unfair behavior towards others, which are generally considered unethical in a professional setting. They can erode trust, damage reputations, and lead to serious consequences for individuals and organizations. Protecting one's professional brand should involve building a positive reputation through integrity, competence, and ethical behavior, not by engaging in unethical actions. Breaking the law is a separate issue that can also have serious legal and ethical implications. Workplace distrust may result from unethical actions, but it is not a direct consequence or definition of them.
