| Abstract: | This article explains why ethics is a necessary and powerful aspect of organizational life and why the managerial ethics of executive responsibility is arguably the most important part of management. While ethical considerations in management are largely the same regardless of organizational type, there are some unique characteristics of nonprofit organizations that create a special ethical context for the nonprofit administrative role. This uniqueness, the immensity and organizational complexity of the American nonprofit sector, and the importance of ethical considerations in an increasingly amoral society, are grounds for giving more attention to this topic. |
