520 The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the
ethical issues in personnel management as experienced by
presidents of colleges, universities, secondary school
superintendents, and CEOs in Georgia. Data were collected
using a survey instrument developed by researchers at
Kennesaw State University in conjunction with the Southern
Institute for Business and Professional Ethics. This study
was designed to determine if similarities in personnel
issues existed by comparing the survey results collected
from these groups. Descriptive statistics were utilized to
summarize the data collected. Frequency distributions and
mean analyses were used to analyze the results with these
being converted to percentages to allow for a more useful
comparison of the responses. Survey responses indicated
that leaders in educational and corporate settings were
aware of their ethical responsibilities as the moral
leaders of their organizations. In addition, some
similarities in ethical management issues occurring
between these groups were identified and many of these
leaders responded to these issues with similar solutions.
The solutions included utilizing board-level committees on
ethics policies, ethics officers, ethics training programs,
and by using clearly stated ethics policies and value
statements to guide employee conduct. Leaders identified
the most important motivators for implementing ethics
initiatives within their organizations as being socially
responsible, ensuring legal compliance, and for employee
recruitment and retention as their top three reasons for
implementing ethics initiatives. Responses regarding
ethical issues between respondents differed somewhat;
however, most leaders surveyed agreed that educational and
corporate leaders in Georgia operate with about the same
level of ethical standards as their counterparts in other
states. Respondents in this study also identified
diversity management as an important component in employee
management and retention. They also agreed that diversity
among employees helps their organizations achieve their
goals for recruiting and retaining students, faculty
members, and employees. Many leaders reported having
assigned diversity officers, while very few organizations
reported having formal budgeted programs for managing
diversity-related issues among employees
