OVERVIEW

   

 Attitudinal change in people depends largely on their values, and that determines their individual behaviour. Values tend to form the foundation of a human character. Most people act in ways that move them towards their goals and also conform to their personal values and sense of right and wrong. This can lead to defensive behaviour and interpersonal conflicts. People, when faced with a threat to their basic security (e. g. keeping a job and providing for family), may engage in unethical behaviour. Work ethics, attitudes and values affect the performance of every organization. This is because the human resource is the most important resource in every organization. The performance of every organization is tied to the performance of every member of staff. Values are the foundation upon which individual ethics and attitudes are built. These three components (attitude, ethics and values) shape an individual’s character. Therefore, this course aims to provide participants with relevant knowledge, skills and techniques to improve on work ethics, organizational culture and behaviour towards improved productivity.
