Nepotism Should Be Defined As An Immoral Practice

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

Companies promote their employees everyday, but when the department heads are considering which employees to promote, what should they take into consideration? Should seniority be considered or equal opportunity, or should a promotion be based solely on the worker who is dedicated to doing excellent work everyday? These questions and more come up in our group study project on Morality of Employees and Employers.

Business environments today display diversity, a numerical composition that reflects different kinds of people, such as men and women of different ethnic origins, educational experiences, and professional backgrounds (Beamish, Morrison, Inkpen, & Rosenzweig, 2003). A vast amount of organizations are emulating a diverse workforce. Fair treatment of employees is the responsibility of the human resource management team within a firm. Footsteps of past generations are the facilitating mechanism allowing today’s generation to participate in a safe and fair workplace. Specific rules and regulations assist in equal employment opportunities for every employee. The Equal Employment

In the case of Salman vs. United States, Masher Kara was an investment banker in Citigroup’s healthcare investment group and he had access to highly confidential information about Citigroup’s clients. He shared those information with his older brother Michael, who later shared the information with other people, included Salman. They gained the benefits by shared the inside information. However, it is not unfair and illegal. Judge Alito’s delivery of the opinion of the court reflects of Aristotle’s virtue ethics model because it shows that Maher and Salman did not possess the quality of morality.

Employers in today’s job force should take heed and make all possible efforts to avoid any type of discrimination in their company, not just age discrimination. Risk management teams should be put in place in the human resource departments and should work closely with the executive managers to create an environment that does not promote or tolerate discrimination of any kind. This would not only improve the culture of the company but would reduce the unnecessary risk of discrimination lawsuits. In conclusion, not only is discrimination degrading and hurtful, but for an organization it is illegal, costly, and disrespectful. The Supreme Court recognized the discrimination and that it was inexcusable no matter the “after-acquired evidence” against the plaintiff and ruled in accordance of this in the McKennon vs Nashville Banner Publishing Co

The essays by Thomson and Nagel defended the use of preferences but on different grounds. Thomson endorsed job preferences for women and African-Americans as a form of redress for their past exclusion from the academy and the workplace. Preferential policies, in her view, worked a kind of justice. Nagel, by contrast, argued that preferences might work a kind of social good, and without doing violence to justice. Institutions could for one or another good reason properly depart from standard meritocratic selection criteria because the whole system of tying economic reward to earned credentials was itself indefensible.

Tanglewood promotes diversity in the workplace, and all hiring and promotion are made on the basis of character and quality of work. The ensuing lawsuit brings a need to analyze Tanlgewood’s selection methods to ensure these are

Typical business ethics dilemmas result from the need to balance economic performance and social performance when people think of fraternization they think it is harmless; but these rules and regulations are in place for a reason, to protect good order and discipline. Fraternization is an unprofessional relationship amongst officers and enlisted members, senior enlisted members and junior enlisted members, and senior and subordinates. There are many forms of fraternization; fraternization causes the employees to be deceitful; they also encourage gossip, dissatisfaction, drama in the work space, fraternization over all hurt the organization and the mission. Two ethical principles that can be observed when analyzing this problem are Deontological Morality Ethics also known as Duty-based ethics witch state that some things should never be done, no matter what good consequences they

The glass ceiling is an invisible barrier preventing women and minorities from advancing into upper management (Bell 67). Despite extensive legislation and the widespread implementation of equal opportunity policies, there is still widespread structural inequality and job segregation in organizations throughout the United States. "The level of the `glass ceiling' varies among organizations and is reflected in different employment patterns, hiring practices, and promotion plans" (Adler 451). The purpose of this paper is to provide background as well as a more in-depth analysis of the glass ceiling phenomenon and apply a human-capitalistic theorist perspective to the issues.

Affirmative action has been the topic of debate for many years. It has been controversial because it has been said to be a form of reverse discrimination. This paper will discuss the purpose behind affirmative action, as well as, its various strengths and weaknesses. Also, this paper will look at the following issues surrounding affirmative action such as the incompetency myth ( are companies hiring less qualified people?), the impact on employment (what has changed in the work place?), the impact on women (how have their lives changed?) and the impact on employment law (what documents back up affirmative action?). Lastly, a discussion of affirmative action on an international scale, and what international documents have to say about

Today, employees can be considered as the greatest strength of the company. They are the ones who help build the reputation of the company, it is their job to ensure the success of the business, which is why it is very important to keep them satisfied. A recent statistic shows that an American worker has an average of eight jobs in his career (Rudman, 2003). This stat shows how difficult it is to retain a core strength of a company. In this essay, an analysis of a case study is made. The case includes at first, a discussion between Chip Brownlee and Arch carter, the CEO and lead director of Galvatrens respectively. During this conversation, they discussed a lawsuit that a former employee sent to the company for being wrongfully relieved of his duty. Also in the case study after investigation the board of Galvatrens and their CEO made a meeting in order to tackle the problems and know what really happened. In this essay, it will explain the main ethical dilemmas in the case study, and according to these dilemmas a comparison will be made between utilitarian, libertarian, deontological and virtue ethics perspectives. Finally, as a form of an ethical point of view will be used to be the best solution to solve the dilemma of the recommendation.

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
