In 1 to 2 paragraphs, analyze how a person's ethics or values might affect his performance on

the job

A person's individual ethos truly reflects his/her business ethics too. Although general ethics in general is not influencing job performance (both in terms of effectiveness and efficiency) directly, bad ethics can sometimes be detrimental for someone's career. For example, if it is to be discovered that an employee has taken full credit for a colleague's achievement, his/her credibility will drastically fall and he/she will have less chance to get promoted.

On the other hand, if an individual possesses exceptionally good ethics or values (for example, being constantly sincere and not afraid to be direct with somebody even when it gets uncomfortable), it will certainly become noticed both by colleagues and managers. Thus, the employee with good ethics is very likely to get promoted.
