Answer

The answer is setting a good example by acting ethically.

Explanation
Option 1: Punishing unethical behavior and rewarding ethical behavior privately

While this approach can influence behavior, it does not align with the idea that ethics is "caught" more than "taught." This statement suggests that people learn ethics through observation and modeling rather than through direct instruction or consequences.

Option 2: Leaving unethical behavior unpunished

This option would likely lead to a culture where unethical behavior is tolerated or even encouraged, which contradicts the idea of facilitating ethical behavior.

Option 3: Setting a good example by acting ethically

This option aligns well with the statement "ethics is caught more than it is taught." By setting a good example, management can demonstrate ethical behavior in practice, allowing employees to observe and emulate these behaviors in their own actions.

Option 4: Ignoring both ethical and unethical behavior

Ignoring behavior altogether would not facilitate the learning or adoption of ethical practices, as it provides no guidance or model for employees to follow.
