The ethical conundrum arises when an employer's values and the personal values of one disagrees (Shefali Roy, 2017). When there is something done within an organization that is in conflict with one’s personal moral code the employee must figure out how to balance his or her own moral compass with the organization's ethical commitment. When an employee is faced with this kind of dilemma it is very important to take in consideration all of the factors, including the impact on one's own sense of honor. If the discrepancy is serious and insuperable, the person may need to look for changes inside the organization, look for areas of compromise, or even consider finding another job position. When a person is put in a position such as this they must do their best to stick to their ethical commitments while trying to figure out if it is possible to balance the beliefs of the organization. At the end of the day if the employee has a decision to make on whether they will continue working for the organization. A difficult and complex challenge for an individual is facing conflicts within the organization's ethics and one’s own personal ethical commitments. In Shefali Roy 2017 TED Talk, she discusses the threat of having conflict between an employee and the employer. I work with the Department for Family and Children Services in Georgia as a social worker. In my line of work there are conflicts that arise all the time. An example of a conflict would be the case manager and her supervisor having a disagreement where things get heated. The best way to resolve this conflict would be walking away from the situation to cool and then later come back to revisit what had happened. In order for the case manager and supervisor to move forward they must discuss both sides and then come up with the best solution to resolve their conflict. At the end of the day, it’s all about how one approaches the situation and figures out what’s next. The response that allows compliance with professional ethics while maintaining personal moral commitments would be advocating for change within the organization to maybe resolve the dispute between the two or identifying solutions that can appease both the individual and the organization's ethical commitment. A person can also decide to leave the company for them to find an organization that matches their values, beliefs, and personal morals. TEDx Talks. (2017).
