Code of ethics:
a. should not include guidelines for day-to-day activities.
b. should exclusively include laws and regulations set by government agencies.
c. should not be too detailed.
d. should not be designed to guide decision making.
ANSWER: c
Codes that are too detailed encourage employees to substitute rules for judgment. For instance, if employees are involved in questionable behavior, they may use the absence of a written rule as a reason to continue behaving that way, even though their conscience may be telling them to stop.
