The role and importance of ethical codes in organizations

V magistrskem delu bomo razložili kakšna je vloga in pomen etičnih kodeksov v organizacijah. Osredotočamo se na pomen etike in etičnih kodeksov v poslovnem okolju. Poslovanje podjetja ni odvisno le od kakovosti proizvodov in/ali storitev, ki jih ponujajo, temveč tudi od načina delovanja in vedenja, ki se kaže preko poslovanja. Magistrsko delo je razdeljeno na dva dela in sicer na teoretični in aplikativni del. V prvem delu bomo skozi teorijo predstavili in razložili pomen pojmov etika, poslovna etika, etični kodeks, etičnost poslovanja, idr. Oblikovali bomo teoretično zasnovo, ki nam bo kot osnova služila v aplikativnem delu kjer se bomo ukvarjali s primerjalno analizo izbranih primerov etičnih kodeksov. S pomočjo analize bomo oblikovali smernice za vsebinsko oblikovanje etičnih kodeksov ter pojasnili zakaj je pomembno, da ima organizacija sprejet etični kodeks. Kljub temu, da ima veliko podjetij že sprejet etični kodeks, je takšnih ki tega ne prakticirajo še vedno veliko. Ker so postavke vsebinsko razpršene po celotnem področju etike, se velikokrat zgodi, da so zaradi tega etični kodeksi oblikovani vsebinsko pomanjkljivo. Da lahko razumemo čemu služi in kako je sestavljen etični kodeks je potrebno predhodno preučiti različne vidike teorije, ki so posredno ali neposredno povezane z etičnim kodeksom.In the master\u27s thesis, we will explain the role and importance of ethical codes in organizations. We focus on the importance of ethics and ethical codes in the business environment. The business of a company depends not only on the quality of the products and / or the services they offer, but also on the way in which the business operates and behaves. The master\u27s thesis is divided into two parts: the theoretical and applicative part. In the first part we will present and explain the meaning of ethics, business ethics, ethical code, ethics of business, etc. through theory. We will create a theoretical concept that will serve as a basis for us in the applicative part where we will do a comparative analysis of selected examples of ethical codes. Through the analysis, we will develop guidelines for the content design of ethical codes and explain why it is important for the organization to adopt the codes of ethics. Despite the fact that many companies have already adopted the code of ethics, there are still many of them that do not practice this. Since the contents are dispersed throughout the whole field of ethics, it often happens that, as a result, ethical codes are designed to be defective in substance. In order to understand what it serves and how a code of ethics is drawn up, it is necessary to examine beforehand various aspects of theory that are directly or indirectly related to the code of ethics
