Solution

The signs that indicate a weak ethical culture in an organization from the options provided are:

  1. Employees are encouraged to do whatever it takes to achieve their goals. This could lead to unethical behavior as employees may resort to dishonest means to achieve their targets.

  2. Individuals often rationalize their behavior by saying “everybody does it.” This indicates a lack of personal accountability and a culture where unethical behavior is normalized.

The other two options - the company assessing ethical conduct as part of employee performance evaluation and the company having a channel for employees to report misconduct anonymously - are signs of a strong ethical culture, not a weak one.
