true
false

Explanation:

Distinguish between organizational rules and ethics

Using the Business Ethics and Ethical Dilemmas knowledge points

• Ethics refers to broad principles of right and wrong, whereas organizational rules are specific administrative policies.
• Breaking a company rule (such as a dress code, a procedural step, or a reporting timeline) is a policy violation, but it is not automatically or inherently "unethical."
• Some rules may even be unethical themselves, meaning that disobeying them could be the ethically correct action. Therefore, the absolute statement that breaking any organizational rule constitutes unethical behavior is false.

Answer:

• True
• False (Correct answer)
