Relevant Reading for those interested in Organizational Ethics

MANAGING BUSINESS ETHICS: Straight Talk About How To Do It Right, Linda K. Trevino and Katherine A. Nelson, 3rd ed., Wiley Publishers, ISBN 0-471-23054-5

Per Bruce Hamm, "This is the best book I've found to date on managing ethics in the workplace. It covers not only the historical, classical background for ethics but gives practical examples of the type of programs and actions I believe corporations need to consider. It covers ethics cases from small to large scale from the perspective of the individual to the entire organization. If there is any book I'd recommend about corporate ethics, this is it."

BUSINESS ETHICS, William H. Shaw, 4th ed., Wadsworth Publishers, ISBN 0-534-57349-5

Per Bruce Hamm, "This book gives a well-rounded picture of historical ethical thought.  It covers large institutional cases where ethics were brought into question.  This book encourages much deeper thought on ethics in the workplace and is a great companion to the Managing Business Ethics book."

HOW FULL IS YOUR BUCKET?, Tom Rath and Donald O. Clifton, Ph.D., Gallup Press, ISBN 1-59562-003-6

Per Bruce Hamm, "The authors teach one about the wonderful effect of positive emotions in the workplace, as well as at home and in our daily interactions.  Even small, seemingly insignificant interactions can have a positive effect on our ability to cope, survive and thrive.  If you want to learn how to manage a positive attitude at the workplace, both for yourself and your associates, read this book and follow its suggestions."

COMPLETE GUIDE TO ETHICS MANAGEMENT: An Ethics Toolkit for Managers - Carter McNamara

Per Bruce Hamm, "This online paper is very much in line with the type of actions organizations might want to look at to encourage an ethical culture.  A great start to the study of business ethics."
