midst waves of social uncertainties and business fluctuations, the navigating force behind strong governance vests on value education scripted through exploration, learning and co-curricular activities focusing on the ethical way of life. The sphere of industry driven by the individuals is the congruent of ethical culture directed in the cultivation of moral values enriched with the system of ethical knowledge mechanism. The initialization of ethical outlook gears up with the hub of data disseminated in the form of journals, research papers, books covering ethical issues, moral integrity and ethical decision making. The light of ethical synchronization, uniformity and fairness are seen to be ignited within the inner instinct of the learners with reasonable understanding, justifiable opinion and sense of belongingness. The close intermediary forces underlying any business environment rests on manpower surrounded by society at large. The nucleus of Business-Government-Society is the core of every ethical structure prevailing across the boundaries. The essence of realistic view in the ethical court of righteousness creates a consciousness among the prospective aspirants of business and management. The bible of ethical codes are seen encrypted within the bounds of moral approach reflecting the key regions of ethical challenges, narrating the significance of ethical integration and visualizing the true spirit of ethical discipline. The culmination of national ideals with international views speak of the notion of east meets west through a consequential empirical approach translating the 'Kautilya Code' in the words of Weber. The choice of appropriate academic curriculum designed with ethical methods of selfassessment, attitude building frameworks and right conduct rules conducive for institutional ethical elevation all constitute a perfect equilibrium between business operation and holistic perspective of ethical responsibilities. The ethical pillars of value and wisdom depicted in the Buddhist architecture and scriptures interpret welfare of the community coined in today's world as Human Development projecting and promoting the 'good' and 'goodness' -the key words of global ethical transcript (Brenner, 1992). # II. # Establishing Ethics In the last two decades the waves of several visible trends and attitudinal changes have been reflected in the management thoughts emphasizing on eternal human values. The timeless treasure of 'sanatana' that which never perish continues to inspire humanity as captured by the famous verses from Gita 'Yadayada hi dharmasya' signifying whenever there will be a decline in the human values there will be dharma or the morality to revive human values. With the flow of time, the essence of human values seem to be nurtured within the shell of Human Resource Management synthesizing a holistic view of life, touching the spiritual heights with material attainment. The new millennium of HR practices gives a futuristic look of human values in the name of 'Ethics'. "All HR practices have an ethical foundation. Human Resource deals with the practical consequences of human behavior". Business Ethics also termed as corporate ethics is a form of applied ethics or professional ethics that examines ethical principles and moral or ethical problems that arise in a business environment. It applies, to all aspects of business conduct and is relevant to the behavior of the individuals and entire organizations (Kumar, 2003). It is quite pertinent that care should be taken that individuals, groups and teams learn to value work with ethical behavior within their operational responsibilities in the workspace. In other words businesses need to harp upon creating a ethical culture and climate where employees find and feel rightly occupied for qualitative outputs at work. In this paper, the essential objective is to delineate the notion and rationale of business ethics for sustainable quality generation along the lines os specific consideration. These considerations would be terms of the focal issues of discovering goals & ethics, diversity management and ethics, entity value on decision making, legal perspective on business ethics and diversified ethics and gender differentiation. The idea of the paper is to connect these elemental considerations to rationalize their criticality towards building sustainable ethical standards within organizations. The aim of the paper is to identify the items that may be considered "BESQ" Scale. III. # Research Methodology The study would be based on secondary literature survey. A scale would be created involving the essential considerations of the paper viz., discovering goals & ethics, diversity management and ethics, entity value on decision making, legal perspective on business ethics and diversified ethics and gender differentiation. These would be considered as independent variables and the notion of business ethics for sustainable quality generation as dependent variables. The creation of the scale, in this paper, would involve identification of items within the scale, using literature review as the essential basis. The structured scale would be the research instrument with clear nomenclature of "BESQ" Scale, towards collection of primary data and feedback for future scope of the study; "B" meaning Business, "E" meaning Ethics, "S" meaning Sustainable and "Q" meaning Quality. IV. # Literature Review a) Rediscovering Goals & Ethics The all-encompassing angles of direction constantly indicate the roadway to reach the goals of attainment. Realization of individual self-merged with ethical ideologies creates a significant impact in the accomplishment of desired organizational goals. The exploration of the twin wings of idealism & relativism establishes bondage of ethical principles tied with trait goal orientations (Urdan, 1997). An interconnectivity relationship between idealism-relativism-trait goal orientation-ethical dimensions is being drawn in the in Figure 1, which postulates that goal oriented behavior is an inevitable phenomenon in the analysis of ethical orientation. In order to bridge the gap between individual beliefs and set of standard norms coined as individual goal orientation and ethical ideologies, three broad parameters can be drawn to build connectivity with potential -personality and ethical-worth. The foundation of relationship integration is erected on Ethical Ideologies, Goals & Ethics and Goal Orientations -all lying on the motivational plane of relationship is illustrated in the given Figure 2. # Indicators of Ethics Idealism # b) Diversity Management and Ethics The urge for excellence at the organizational ground is deeply rooted with human elements yielding crops of efficiency and productivity. A perfect blend of diversified values and potentials creates a sound working climate for the non-profiled work force contributing optimum outcomes in the qualitative and quantitative magnitudes. The scale of competence propounded by the ethical principles encourages the functional level of the executives in the organizational hierarchy. Appreciation of human ability, gratification of human rights and acknowledgment of human preferences are the key essentials of Diversity Management wherein ethics and productivity are merged with each other regardless of gender, age, religion, nationality and culture. The search for proficient human skill and its fair and equitable recognition in the diversified situations has become a difficult task for the executives. To get acquainted with others, to share the emotional state of mind, to understand the feelings -all amalgamate into the streams of diversified human actions supplemented by righteous decision making showcased as ethical soundness and fostering growth and prosperity. In spite of disparity in compassion, the recognition of the employees at times are assessed on the basis of performance versus potentiality. The exigent work forces need to be exposed through support, learning and collaboration. Managing diversity skills is an endeavor to pursue all work-groups of both genders to appreciate the energizing, creative, idealistic and rational body of collective human forces. In the colliding steps of individualistic views, profile, ethics and culture this diversity needs to be balanced reasonably so that the willing members feel a sense of equity in minimizing stress and maximizing employee productivity at workplace (Gentile, 1998). # c) Entity Value on Decision Making The selection of proper course of action out of abundant available alternatives demands correct assessment based on perfect judgment device. In the organizational zone of actions the collective values of the managerial squad acts as a predictor of human resource decision-making. An individual self-esteem takes the shape of a valuable component in the thought process of organizational operations. The worth of individual entity gets transformed into group integration and touches the feat of organizational value under the framework of human resource verdict. The ingredient of # Stairs of Ethical Orientation and Goal Orientation # Goals & Ethics # ? Learning Goals tends to divert attention. # ? Performance Goals inadvertently motivate unethical behavior. ? Goals have led to individuals for options for ethical behavior. ? Ethical ideology influences the behavioral attributes of individuals Goal Orientation ideals, preferences, attitudes, viewpoints make the value element as the most unique and enduring. Originating from the human mind, the life-line of human values confronts hurdles of divergence and dilemmas, share harmony of mutual collaboration and acquire the accepted value structures all motivating the managerial behavior in the context of a judicious decision making situation. Feasibility of value in the perspective of traditional approach or the rational focus of value plays a significant position in the individual and managerial decision-making processes (Gibson & Gamble, 1999). Individual values have undergone transition with resistance and fear of cultural differences, inclination towards authentic peer behavior, prominence on teamwork over in-house contest and shift from avoidance to facilitate the productive expression. The wide array of HR decision-making issues is very well associated with the component of human value, the magnitude of which cannot be ignored or be overemphasized to sustain reasonable balance between the human factor and organizational expectations. # d) Legal perspective of Business Ethics The ever-increasing complexities in the competitive market have multiplied its density in recent years. The progression of growth has joined hands with irregularities complemented with increasing unethical behavior among the participants of the corporate province. Every action attributed towards the welfare of people must be evaluated on the scale of translucent yardstick formulated by rules framed from time to time. The set of rules integrated within the legal edge acts as a protective and defending shield against all created immoral course of actions which is detrimental for human advancement. Corporate rules appended with ethical parameters govern the moral outlook and righteous way of business functioning (Linda et al, 1999). Any code of conduct followed unanimously by the individuals at different situations are considered as statute and commonly accepted as 'Rules'. The fundamental spirit underlying any business rules comprise of truthfulness, integrity and ethical conduct in handling professional and personal relationships added with full, fair and accurate disclosure of reports with adherence to government rules and regulations. The rules are not solely confined to do's and don'ts but commands, delivers and guides all acts ranging risks to returns. A tree will be regarded as beneficial when it yields fruits for human survival and so is the nature characterized by the rules where its applicability and acceptability is included in the plane of ethical decision making. The accord between rules and ethical principles is stringed through the ethical decision process as identification of ethical issue, giving ethical verdict, initiating ethical performances, execution of ethical behavior as the aspects of ethical decision-making in real terms (Near & Miceli, 2001). This is depicted in Figure 3. # Identification of Ethical issue # e) Diversified Ethics and Gender Differentiation The tale of Adam & Eve commemorates the episode of humanity that both gender identities are inevitable and indispensable resources in creating the future, nurturing the past and believing the present in the accomplishment of the desired goal. The unified integration of 'man-woman' at times segregates themselves through the varied medium in terms of knowledge, psychology, attitude, biological attributesall landing into the soil of discrimination and difference. The existence of divergence opens the doorway to variable ethical behavior in the organizational hemisphere. The age old tyranny of womanhood gets decomposed underneath by the social stigmas propounded and promulgated through the firm hands of # Global Journal of Management and Business Research Volume XX Issue XIII Version I Year 2020 ( ) faceted role played by the women in the functional contribution of the globe, still the vacuum of tolerance remains imbalanced as the psychological constraints restricts the acceptability of women at the intricate layers of ethical understanding. The wall of difference between men and women remains shielded with social discrimination, mental dissonance and cultural conflicts. On the threshold of twenty-first century there is no reasonable argument to justify the age old disagreement for such inequality. The dimensions of outlook, behavior, views all culminate in the ever flowing waves of culture in the ambit of ideals, values, beliefs and aspirations. An upbringing of a child completes its journey to manhood or womanhood when the pillars of values disseminate through family, religion and social bodies. The building bricks of ethical foundation have its base seeded within the intelligence and mind of men and women which confronts conflicting situation bounded by prejudices, tradition and philosophy. In spite of diversifications in the system of lives, the disparity and dissimilarity seems natural, the unequal instinct gets recognition and distinctive attitudinal attributes are acknowledged in the arena of corporate culture and ethnicity (Gordon & King, 1998). # f) Business Ethics in International Organizations The sustenance and the passion of institutions spread worldwide in the land of profitability and productivity are brought together under the unified umbrella of global code of ethics. The defined codes of ethical manual guides, directs and motivates the multinational bodies to elevate into the superlative platform of organizational culture. The mounting business trends encompassed with ethical understanding promotes and recognizes the essence of ethical diversity in the international arena. To combat with the rising corporate scandals among the trading organizations, ethical governance acts a building force for observance and maintenance of vigorous regulations designed with effective decision making mechanism and ethical values. The cross cultural relationships of various business entities within the prevailing climate and the possibilities of ethical dilemmas can be visualized from the ethical image existing at the core of global business practices (Near & Miceli, 2001). This is illustrated in Figure 4. At the helm of diversities of international organizations a standardized ethical code featuring salient aspects of business can be formulated for enforcement of universal code of ethics focusing on multivariate business situations across nations. A prime ethical code designed exclusively to handle multicultural, multinational, multilingual dilemmas at the background of international business bodies is a requisite in the coming years ahead. # Ethical Phenomenon V. # Findings and Discussion From the literature explicate in the paper a clear attempt can be made to identify the items underlying the proposed "BESQ" scale.
