Ethical Principles

As an employee do you ever take the time to sit and read through your jobs handbook or contract agreements? The truth is there are a very select few that really take the time to view the information that is set to inform you of the policies and procedures that are beneficial to your job. For Instance, organizational justice ensures that not only the organization but the employees are treated fairly and protected in case of an unlikely incident. Organizational justice as defined by our text is a more complete view of fairness within organizations and a process theory of motivation extending equity theory arguments (Giblin, 2014).

The fairness principle requires that all stakeholders be treated fairly and it defines fairness in four ways. Reciprocal fairness speaks to treating other parties fairly and having them treat the company and its employees properly as well. Distributive fairness discusses the proper allocation of limited corporate resources to maximize their benefit for the company as a whole. Competitive fairness involves interaction with existing and potential competitors. Competitive fairness must include fair treatment of your competitors and does not allow collusion, bribes, or other illegal relationships. Procedural fairness requires that the company and its employees treat all parties that interact with the firm properly and with due process, including any internal employees who notify authorities of any illegal actions taking place at the company (Stanwick & Stanwick, 2009).

All employees analyze their environment and strive to be recognized and rewarded for their hard work and dedication they put into the company, in a word they are seeking justice. Justice can be defined as a person receiving what they feel they are entitled to and if they do not receive what they deserve, the situation may boarder on injustice. Unfortunately in today’s society justice and appreciation are not given out to all those deserving (Pinder, 1998). Within the Equity theory there are three justice theories. The first of which is distributive justice, this touches on if the referent feels that the outputs are fair that are given to the employees. This comes into play

The National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) is a nonprofit corporation dedicated to act on behalf of the interests of young children. The NAEYC Code of Ethical Conduct offers guidelines for responsible behavior and sets forth a common basis for resolving the principal ethical dilemmas encountered in early childhood care and education promoting a commitment to integrity, veracity, fairness, and human dignity at all levels; nevertheless, further research and/or developments may change the current code and state of knowledge. NAEYC have a Statement of Commitment; however, isn’t part of the organization’s Code of Ethics; instead, it is used as a tool, for personal acknowledgement of an individual's willingness to

During this interview, I addressed some of parts highlighted in Ethical Principal 2.1.1 of the social work Code of ethics. I demonstrated professional demeanor and behavior by stating the confidentiality statement and I guided the client to know that she could express herself freely and openly without judgement. When the client and I first sat down I also made sure to set the mood with a relaxed “Good Morning how are you doing today” This lead to start other side conversations consequently creating an atmosphere appropriate for this type of interview. Because we could converse on other subjects besides the actual question. Thus, we could engage in effective communication from the beginning. We were also able to make good non-verbal gestures

Henrietta Lacks, a woman that died of cervical cancer in 1951, single handedly changed the field of science. Not long before she passed away, a doctor took a sample of her cancer cells, the cells from her cervix were later on named HeLa cells, and these cells helped pave the way to numerous experiments and research all over the world. Even though HeLa brought along many achievements with its discovery, it also brought disappointments to some researchers, and pain for her family. You see, she nor her family consented to her cells being sampled, or the amounts of experiments and research that occurred after. Her family was never aware that such actions even took place. Even so, on February 1st, 1951, the day Henrietta Lacks walked in to John

The life of prisoners some may never know. There are those who care not to know what goes on behind that wired fence. We find that some people that are convicted of crimes that they did not commit. Some people would rather turn their heads to what actually happens in a prison institution, because they feel it is no concern of theirs. Innocent women and men face a disaster in life when they find their selves incarcerated in such facility as these. The treatment in prison facilities toward prisoners with health issues or those who develop health concerns that

The article is about how Americans are concerned about illegal immigration, but also ambivalent what to do about it with the 11 million aliens all ready in the United States illegally. Frustrated with the federal governments failure to protect the borders, several states passed laws allowing state police to check he immigration status of potential unlawful aliens. Some civil rights organizations warn the laws will result in ethic profiling. The Obama administration is suing law makers for violating on federal prerogatives. Advocates of tougher enforcement say undocumented workers are taking up U.S., citizens jobs, but many business and farmers say migrant workers are needed to fill unwanted jobs. Now the government is making hearings of arguments

Within my own career, I plan to follow certain core ethical values as a mandatory requirement. In my personal life, I have dealt with a lot of negative people or situations, which have left me with a positive outcome; I have learned what NOT to do or who NOT to be.

He has gained a lot of experience throughout his career thus far, and is looking forward to expanding his knowledge in the future.

The focus of this paper will be ethical principles as laid out in Zastrow, C &Kirst-Ashman, K “Understanding Human Behavior and the Social Environment”.

It is my belief that when most of us near the end of our days of adolescence we all too soon realize this ideology may be flawed in theory, that life will not always return what is given. Some may say this is unfair, in fact most will, but fairness and impartiality is a trait that should not be omitted from anyone’s arsenal of moral ethics. I’ve learned that working in a business has challenge when it comes to making ethical and just decisions My current profession as a banker has given me great insight into the rewards in being impartial regardless of surrounding circumstances.

"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).

The organizational justice (OB, p. 256) is taken to extremes. Implementing the same reward through the company notwithstanding local market and standard of living, notwithstanding individual performance creates the feeling of inequity and does not encourage doing better than the average. Attempts to minimize sabotage appear to focus on treating employees fairly and honestly, by
