Ethical Dilemma
Ethics
plural but sing or plural in constr :the discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation2 a: a set of moral principles : a theory or system of moral values
Dilemma: an argument presenting two or more equally conclusive alternatives against an opponent OR a problem involving a difficult choice
Ethical Dilemma is: NOT a choice between right and wrong IS a choice between two things that could both equally be right A situation that, although offering potential benefits, is unethical.
For Example Deciding whether to lie about harboring a criminal in your home who committed a double homicide. THIS IS NOT A ETHICAL DILEMMA – WHY? Deciding, in Nazi Germany, to lie about harboring Jews in your home knowing they would be killed if you turned them in. THIS IS A ETHICAL DILEMMA – WHY?
Example: “When a used car salesman tells you, ‘This is the car for you,’ you fully expect the salesman to be motivated primarily by self-interest: he wants to sell you the car to put a few dollars in his pocket.”
“But when an audiologist tells you, ‘This is the hearing aid for you,’ you assume that recommendation stems from the audiologist’s independent judgment that this particular hearing aid would be best for you.”
“The used car salesman is a businessman; the audiologist is a ‘professional.’ Professionals distinguish themselves from ‘mere’ businessmen or tradesman by holding themselves to a higher standard than self-interest.” “Because professionals ‘profess’ to hold the client’s or patient’s interest paramount, clients or patients seek out professionals and repose their confidence in them in order to find the added measure of safety and comfort inherent in such relationships.”

Solving an Ethical Dilemma
When making a decision we must consider: • The people and things that will be affected, not only ourselves. • The values that deal with the problem and its solution. • The means used and the goals we want to accomplish.
Therefore, in every moral act there must be:
Conscience of the reasons for doing it (Why do I do this action?). • Conscience of the intentions (What for?). • Conscience of the means (How am I going to do it?). • Conscience of the possible outcomes (What do I wish to accomplish?). • Conscience of the results (What happened in reality?) and the consequences (Were there any negative effects?).
Checklist for dealing with ethical dilemmas
Step 1. Recognize the ethical dilemma. Step 2. Get the facts. Step 3. Identify your options. Step 4. Test each option: Is it legal? Is it right? Is it beneficial? Step 5. Decide which option to follow. Step 6. Ask the “Spotlight Questions”: To double check your decision.
“How would I feel if my family found out about my decision?” “How would I feel if the local newspaper printed my decision?”
Step 7. Take action
Ethics and Work The Wall Street Journal reports: • 36% of workers calling in sick are lying. • 35% keep quiet about co-worker misconduct. • 12% of job resumes contain falsehoods. • Managers are more likely than other workers to report wrongdoing. • Managers with 0–3 years experience feel most pressure to violate personal ethics.
Ethical philosophy
There are three different ethical philosophies that individuals follow under different situations in an organizational setup.
These are- utilitarianism, individual rights, and justice.
Organizations attempt to ensure that their employees behave ethically by using control systems
The individual rights philosophy deals with safeguarding the rights of individuals, such as the right to be informed, right to free speech, right to free consent, the right to privacy, and the right to due process.
Utilitarianism recommends that a course of action that achieves the greatest good for the greatest number of people is ethical
Justice requires that the rules of the organization be enforced fairly and impartially. Individuals should be accountable only for factors which are under their control.
Utilitarianism is the most commonly followed ethical philosophy
Individual factors
External Environmental factors
Organizational Position related factors
Ethical philosophy & Decision ideology
Ethical Decision Making Ethical behavior
Decision history Reinforcement/ Reward systems
Whistleblowers Persons who expose organizational misdeeds in order to preserve ethical standards and protect against wasteful, harmful, or illegal acts. Many whistleblowers were / are fired for their actions. State and federal laws now offer some protection
We have an increasing number of dilemmas due to erosion of values Mainly because: Dominance of economic considerations in the materialistic world Exposure to much ethnic multi cultural and plural society depicted in satellite Religion has been politicized and loss of faith Increased influence of western thoughts on younger generations Relative ease of cutting corners Difficulty in thinking about consequences of alternate courses Different from rashness or stubbornness.
The final test as to whether an action is ethical or not are answers to the following questions 1. If the answers are all negative, then the chances are you are being ethical. 2. Is it in conflict with values deep religious beliefs? 3. Does it hurt my conscience? 4. Do I feel guilty? 5. Will I feel bad to admit in public?
“Character doesn’t stay at home when we go to work”
A code of moral standards of conduct for what is “good” and “right” as opposed to what is “bad” or “wrong”.
"If you refuse to fight this righteous war then, shirking your duty and loosing your reputation, you will incur sin. Nay, people will also pour undying infamy on you; infamy brought on a man enjoying popular esteem is worse than death.“ Lord Krishna
Quoting from Bhagavad Gita
Karmanyeva adhikaraste maphaleshu kadachana makarma phala heturbhu mate sangotswa karmani
When we are dealing with management and human action we cannot take absolute positions on passions like greed and intolerance
