Abstract
Machine ethics have become an important field of research in software agent technology. Granting autonomy to agents and instilling strong moral values in the agents have become a priority for designing agents to ensure that they will ethically perform tasks. Sincerity is one ethical behaviour that has been proven in human organizations to motivate humans in ethically performing their jobs. However, the sincerity is ruined if they display blaming or bragging behavior while performing their jobs. This paper shows how human blaming and bragging behaviour can influence software agent sincerity implementation. We propose operational rules of software agent sincerity implementation that responds to human blaming or bragging behaviour.
