question 12
if an employees decision or action is judged as wrong or unethical, a person with a strong moral courage would say, \my boss told me to do it this way.\
true
false
Analyze the statement
Using the Ethical Decision Making and Locus of Control knowledge points:
- Moral courage is the willingness to stand up for ethical principles despite risks, pressure, or adverse consequences.
- Deflecting responsibility by saying "My boss told me to do it this way" is an appeal to authority (or obedience to authority) and represents an external locus of control.
- A person with strong moral courage takes personal responsibility for their actions and refuses to carry out unethical orders, rather than shifting the blame to a superior. Therefore, the statement is false.
