This paper is a response to Sandra M. Caffo's (2011) article entitled “Through The Looking Glass: Instinctual and Cultural Influences on U.S. Workers' Views of Ethics and the Workplace.” From a developmental/organizational transactional analysis perspective, the author outlines her frame of reference and explores four priorities: instinct, thinking and feeling, autonomy, and organizational culture in relation to OKness. She highlights the fact that ethical issues are many layered and will be influenced by the organizational culture as well as the current climate. Just as individuals need alignment between thinking, feeling and behavior, in-depth analysis is required to assist organizations to be congruent and to ensure alignment between purpose and actions.
