Explanation:

Analyze the manager's primary duty

Using the Ethical Principles knowledge point
In standard professional business frameworks, managers owe a primary fiduciary duty to the stockholders (owners) of the corporation. While modern business ethics emphasizes balancing stakeholder interests, prioritizing employee interests over stockholders' legal and financial interests is not established as a core ethical principle of professional business standards.

Using the Ethical Principles knowledge point
Because professional standards emphasize the fiduciary responsibility to protect and maximize shareholder value within legal and ethical bounds, the statement is false.

• True
• False (Correct answer)
