Expert Solution
Step 1 Introduction

Employee behavior is the employee's reaction to a particular situation at the workplace. For, example if the company proposes to work as a team to increase productivity some employees may agree and some may not which depends on employee behavior towards the proposal. An organization has certain rules and regulations that are often formulated as a part of the code of conduct. The employees working in the organization are required to abide by the code of conduct in order to avoid several repercussions and negative effects. Code of conduct helps in avoiding conflicts and also helps in creating a healthy working environment in the organization.
