What is the role of ethics in Project Management?

1. Violation of Basic Rights of Workers – Most of the project managers misuse their powers by violating the basic rights of workers. They engage their team members even after office timings. Moreover, they do not give them any leave even if there is any emergency. These things decrease the motivation level of team members.
2. Ignoring Health or Safety Standards – Although, some countries have protected the employees by setting health, safety and environmental standards but most of the project manager ignore these standards.
3. Backstabbing – When it comes to project managers, then backstabbing is very common. The project managers always backstab their team members especially those who are lower than them. It is highly unethical.
4. Making Shady Deals – Money attracts everyone so some corrupted project managers finalize those deals that give more benefit to their own self. These deals are mostly dangerous for the organization but still project managers accept them in order to get more value in the form of money. If we move a step forward then fraudulent cases are very common these days. The project managers use fictitious records such as show any expense that never occurred, etc.
5. Wrong People on Job – Sometimes project managers hire their family members, relatives or friends in their team without considering that these people lack desired skills and qualifications.
6. Biasness – Biasness is common everywhere whether it is project management or any other business. The project manager show biased behavior which leads to a disturbance in the whole working environment.
7. Blaming Others – When you work in a team environment then failure of one person is considered as the failure of whole team. This is the most ethical behavior but unfortunately most of the project managers blame their team members or subordinates without thinking that being a project head it was also their responsibility to ensure success.

The role of ethics in Project Management is the discipline of “how to do it best”. To guide behavior and help with tough decisions. For more information please refer to the following link,

• Ethical Issues

  There are a number of different components of managing a project. While conducting project management, profit and staff motivation are often paramount. However, a project manager must also remember his obligation to be an ethical, responsible employer, employee and corporate citizen. Some of the ethical situations that one may face in the duration of project management could be the admission of wrongdoing, focus of blame, and hard choices regarding contracts.

Ethics have to do with moral values and principles, and while morality can't be taught, leadership by example, and policies of openness and transparency, can do much to encourage appropriate behavior in the profession.
