Final Answer :
E
Explanation :
When employees perceive their company as having an ethical climate, they are more likely to feel motivated, committed, and engaged in their work. This can lead to enhanced outcomes such as better performance, higher customer satisfaction, and stronger relationships with stakeholders. It also helps to establish trust and credibility in the organization, which can be a competitive advantage. The other options (lack of focus on goals, greater focus on education, increased community involvement, and improved relationships with competitors) do not necessarily follow from perceptions of ethical climate.
