The theory advances on the incentives that should be offered to the agents in order to motivate them to work in line with the objectives of the company. The theory suggests that the incentives that promote moral misconduct by the agents should be eliminated. This forces the companies to develop rules that discourage moral hazard. The SWM model fails to promote the interests of all parties that form a company. Its main focus is on the shareholders. However, the agency theory successfully considers the interests of both the principals and agents. Therefore, the application of agency theory promotes social welfare and fair treatment of all the

The stakeholders are the shareholders, managers, and employees. The current situation has caused a dilemma that affects all stakeholders equally. When the business is at risk, everyone involved should be concerned about the future of the organization. However, the responsibility falls to the senior leaders of the organization to solve the current issues. However, holding 80% of the company’s stocks is concerned not only about the organizations current issues but also with the value of his investment, as he gets closer to retirement. This creates an ethical dilemma due to his personal finances and retirement being directly affected by the company’s performance. In addition, the CEO believes that the status of the organization is not as bad as some of the senior leadership team would say. The shareholders interest is purely profit. The impact of how Huffman Trucking runs the business and implements change has a direct reflection on the company’s image.

Dr. Ramos exhibits conflict avoidance because she knows that Trish is not performing well at work and that she does not pay overtime to Trish, but Dr. Ramos does not take the initiative to solve the problem. Trish exhibits conflict avoidance because one year ago, when she asked Dr. Ramos for a performance review and a raise of her salary, but Dr. Ramos took six months in providing Trish with both requests.

An example of an ethical conflict is, I was working with a 16 year old who admitted he wanted to commit suicide. He is half Native American and half white. He started thinking about suicide when his grandmother terminated her rights as guardian and he was now living at the group home where I work.
