CHAPTER ONE
1.1 Background of the study
According to Ogungbemi, (2015) ethics is about behavior and ways of thinking, especially in situations where our choice may affect the dignity and well-being of others. Because ethical behavior involves free choice, it can not be captured in the rule. The standard of reference for what is ethical must exist “outside the human definition” and therefore can not be open to human negotiation (Ogungbemi, 2015). Although Ayodele in 2014 argues that the terms morality and ethics are often used interchangeably, they can be distinguished. By morality we mean the tradition of laws, rules and practices that exist in every society and that seeks to describe, persuade and demand certain forms of behavior while proscribing others. On the other hand, by ethics we mean the disciplined reflection on morality which constitutes the branch of philosophy which studies moral questions (Ayodele, 2014). Thus, Bossaert, (2015) added that the reflection on the correctness or the error of an act, a law or a rule in particular is an example of ethics. According to Bruce, (2014) ethics is a discipline dealing with the study of what is good and bad, good and evil, and duty and moral obligation. Therefore, ethical issues are the set of customary principles and practices that embody a kind of normative code (of behavior, values) to respect them differently. Better corporate governance and accountability have once again surfaced as demanding issues. Organizations continue to recognize the value of an ethical culture (Bruce, 2014).
However, Idogbe, (2012) agreed that ethics of the administrative performance is among the basic foundations for running the work efficiently and effectively, and an important issue for the administrative to carry out his/her duties. With the expansion of the educational institutions and augmentation of their responsibilities and burdens, it needs the management officials’ troublesome responsibilities and assignments, thus each establishment can embrace skilled ethical rules and politics different from the other. This is because every function has its unique own functional ethics to be observed by the workers. Moreover, the commitment of professional leaders to professional ethics motivates them to carry out their work according to rules, regulations, instructions and academic standards, in clear relationships between these leaders and faculty members (Idogbe, 2012).
