Competences and personality of the ethical manager

Abstract

In this article, we will present managerial ethics, which aims to develop an individual’s ethical competence. This entails the ability to comprehend an ethical argument by identifying factual and normative arguments, as well as recognizing the ethical implications of a specific situation and proposing practical solutions to ethically relevant issues in accordance with moral principles.This article succinctly reveals the specific competencies of managerial ethics, such as ethical-gnosiological competency, deontological competency, ethical communication competency, cultural competency, and managerial ethical competency. These competencies guide the personality of the manager towards better integration in society, at work, and in the family. However, the behavior of a consistent ethical manager, who promotes freedom, development, and growth for each employee, respects their families, encourages a proper balance between work and adequate rest, protects the life, safety, and health of employees, and creates a work environment free of discrimination. The manager communicates openly with subordinates and cultivates a positive attitude towards others and their achievements. All of these characteristics are considered essential to being a consistent ethical leader.
