Ethical standards are seen in company policies.

This might cause ethical challenges and conflicts for those who are working in the company.

Here, ethics are predisposed by the larger operating environment of the company.

Political pressures, economic conditions, societal attitudes and others can affect the operating standards and policies of the organization where it might face moral dilemmas outside of the organization but within the macro-society where it belongs.

Finding a satisfactory system of roles and relationships is an ongoing, universal struggle. Managers rarely face well – defined problems with clear – cut solutions. Instead, they confront enduring structural dilemmas, tough trade – offs without easy answers.

The dilemma under this category is a puzzle posed by the dual necessities of social organization and member self-interest. Depending on members' definitions of self, the organizing dilemma may exist between personal interests and organizational welfare, or between group interests and organizational well-being.
