Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have proven to be excellent instruments for promoting a wide range of causes. But they need to adhere to strict ethical principles that they usually define in voluntary codes and standards. NGOs have the responsibility to be transparent, honest, accountable and ethical, to give out accurate information and not to manipulate situations for the personal benefit of their boards and staff. NGOs have the responsibility to dedicate themselves for the sake of others and do so according to the highest code of ethical conduct. A code can assist stakeholders in identifying and avoiding "pretenders" and irresponsible NGOs. A Code of conduct and ethics is a set of fundamental principles, operational principles and standards to guide the actions and management of non-governmental organizations. NGOs have a duty to maintain the highest ethical standards and stay the course in terms of their own practices and founding vision of service. It will help to inform and guide the work of NGOs in this capacity. This paper analyses the ethical standards, values and social principles that define its mission and activities. The study is done on NGO accountability issues also.Keywords

The impact of globalization and technological revolution has increased the opportunities for the women employees to work in the companies. The increased competition among the companies and the pressure to reach the target has forced the companies to give excess work load to complete within a limited time frame. This resulted in extended working hours and interference of work life into family life and from family life into work life causing conflict from both the domain. The ecosystem for a stable growth is disrupted due to these conflicting variables. For doing business a committed, enthusiastic workforce is required. This study tries to understand the personal factors and organizational factors that affect conflict among women employees. Study is related to women employees working in information technology companies. The personal factors like age, marital status from the personal side and work load and job satisfaction from organizational side towards work - life conflict is tested. The study found that young married women working in information technology companies have work-life conflict more than employees belonging to the other age group. It is also found that work load and work hours are also leading to work-life conflict. So for higher commitment and job satisfaction young female employees require more support from the organization for the business ecosystem to be stable and grow.Keywords
