Abstract

The highlighted issues focus on sanctions and unethical human factor behavior in corporate management, looking for the relation among behavior, assignment and implementation of business objectives and the effect resulting from the lack of positive results. Concepts are presented on the change of conduct and the trends leading to remunerations or sanctions. The activities of the managers and the employees are analysed in view of their behavior – how the sanctions are applied and accepted by them. Various examples of unethical conduct of staff, the sanctioning need and the effect of its requirement are demonstrated.
