Emotional self-awareness refers to understanding your own feelings, what causes them, and how they impact your thoughts and actions. It is widely known that ethical dilemmas involving other employees/managers are inherently emotional. Researchers have found that such strong negative emotions as sadness and anger influenced individuals to make less ethical decisions, and that emotional intelligent individuals were able to make ethical decisions against the biasing influence of those negative emotions. Explain how moods could influence the thought process and ethical decision making. Have you made a decision you later regretted based on your emotional response?
