Organizational Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility and Employees’ Rights and Responsibilities and Employer’s Ethical Responsibilities
Employees’ Rights and Responsibilities
To meet competency: The 3 described rights and responsibilities of employees are accurate, clear, and plausible.
Chapter 7 from the textbook gives a number of examples of the rights extended to employees as well as the responsibilities employees have to their employer.
Identify 3 rights and responsibilities (3 total, not 3 each) AND explain why each is important or significant.
A2. Employers’ Ethical Responsibilities
To meet competency: The evaluation accurately describes 2 ethical responsibilities of the employer within the context of the employer/employee relationship described in the scenario. The evaluation is well reasoned and clear.
Consider what ethical duties an employer owes to an employee.
Use Unit 4 of the textbook
A3. Ethical Business Dilemma
To meet competency: The ethical business dilemma is plausible, is relevant, and will demonstrate employee understanding of the company’s ethical standards. This understanding includes how the dilemma affects the company’s ethical standards.
Reflect on your work/professional experience. What ethical dilemmas have you witnessed at place(s) of work that you can apply here?
Describe the context of the situation, explain why the employee’s decision or action was unethical, and discuss how the decision or action violated the
company’s policies or standards.
A4. Ethical Business Dilemma: Evaluation
To meet competency: The evaluation includes both a utilitarian and relativistic perspective. The evaluation is both logical and clear.
First, describe the theories of utilitarianism and relativism. Then, discuss how each theory applies to the dilemma you describe in A3. Imagine, you are a utilitarian, how would view the dilemma? How would a relativist view the dilemma?
A5. Ethical Decisions
To meet competency: The description of 2 common ethical decisions is plausible and aligns with corporate ethics and responsibilities.
Again, reflect on your work/professional experience. What ethical decisions have you had to make at your place(s) of work that you can apply here?
A6. Ethical Decisions: Explanation
To meet competency: The explanation addresses why each decision is an ethical dilemma and provides common justifications of unethical behavior. The explanation is well reasoned and plausible.
Your discussion here MUST build on the two examples from A5.
Think about how an individual might rationalize or defend their unethical behavior or decision.
