Middle East Employees Question Corporate Practices
New poll reveals an alarming number doubt their employer’s ethics, professionalism.

Workplace Cynicism: Employees in the Middle East are almost evenly divided on
whether their companies consistently demonstrate ethics and integrity. A poll of
nearly 8,500 people by job site Bayt.com found that 45 percent don’t believe
their employers conduct business in an ethical manner, compared with 52 percent
who say they do. The respondents are even more closely divided on whether their
company behaves in a professional manner (51 percent agree, 49 percent
disagree).
Middle East managers received unfavorable views on the same issue,
with nearly one-third regarding their bosses as neither professional nor
ethical. Slightly more than one-quarter (27 percent) say their boss is both.
Only 20 percent of people believe their co-workers display ethical and
professional behavior.
