Essay Instructions: The professor states "The paper should be 15 single spaced pages or 25 double spaced pages long and cover an issue, preferably in the student?s work environment, that can be related to Organizational Behavior theory. It should contain a table of contents, paragraphs, a bibliography and a design for research of and/or recommendation for improvements in the student?s work environment. Next to the content, other aspects of the paper (style, spelling and punctuation) will also be taken into account in the grading process.?

My inclination for the paper is Ethical Behavior in Organizations and not delving into my specific personal work environment. However, I am not married to this idea if you have a recommendation. I am interrupting the term ?preferably? as not a requirement but I can always add some specifics related to my company and work environment later. As I will be using the paper as mostly a guide I would appreciate any copies of sources.

BTW, The class text is Behavior in Organizations
