Question

Bryan works as a salesman for Jumbo Corp. Last year his sales target was $3 million. This year in an aggressive bid for growth, the company increased the sales quota for all its sales people to $5 million, although the market for Jumbo Corps products had slowed. In order to meet his target, Bryan bribed an official of a potential customer. The roots of his unethical behavior can be traced to ___ cultural differences in countries. varying ethical standards in different nations. unrealistic performance goals. strong personal ethics among employees.

Answer 1

unrealistic performance goals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Unethical action is defined as one that is carried out by an individual that is seen as wrong or outside of expected behaviour in a particular environment.

In the given scenario Bryan bribed an official of a potential customer.

However his action is as a result of the company increasing the sales quota from $3 million for all its sales people to $5 million.

This is despite the market for Jumbo Corps products having slowed.

The target was unrealistic driving Bryan to take the action he did
