Utilitarian ethical attitudes towards young employees

The purpose of this paper is to identify the theoretical foundations of concepts that describe the ethical attitudes of employees. In the empirical part of the paper there will be presented and discussed the results of research related to young workers in the field of ethical utilitarian preferences. Clarification of this problem is important because it leads to a deeper understanding of the influence of individual moral philosophy on employee behavior, especially when it comes to the need to solve ethical dilemma, i.e. make specific decisions about behavior and its assessment in terms of "right" and "wrong". Does maximizing usefulness and benefitting from actions consequences create the choices among young people today? The research undertaken in this paper will attempt to answer this question.
