Weeks 5 & 6 – YOU as a stakeholder
I Morals & Ethical Principles
II Ethical Decision Making in Business
(Why good people do bad things)
Greg Smith
Choice of
Ethical
Perspective
Morality:
The social rules that govern & limit our conduct, especially the ultimate rules concerning right and wrong.
The basic guidelines for cooperative social existence.
Serves to restrain the purely self-interested desires in each of us in order to make it possible for all of us to live together.
When we make a decision or take an action we can be:
Moral - in compliance with moral standards
key operating questions of management is "is this action or decision fair to us and all stakeholders involved?"
Immoral - in opposition to moral standards
key operating question of management is "can we make money with this action or decision regardless of what it takes?"
Amoral - without consideration of moral standards
key operating question of management is "can we make money with this action or decision?"
Nonmoral - outside the sphere of moral concern
Moral standards get confused with:
Law Etiquette
Conscience
Corporate/Professional Codes
Religion
Moral Relativism:
The belief that morality is just a function of what a particular society happens to believe, that what is right is determined by what a society says is right.
abortion is condemned as immoral in Catholic Spain, but is practiced as a morally neutral form of birth control in Japan
Moral relativists believe that there is no absolute moral standard independent of culture, no universal definition of right or wrong.
polygamy, stealing, slavery have all been tolerated by the moral system of one society or another
Moral Universalism is the belief that variations in moral standards reflect different factual circumstances rather than fundamental differences in values.
Which is right?
It is good to emphasize that in viewing other cultures we should keep
an open mind and not simply dismiss their social practices.
Compromise position is Moral Perspectivalism,
the consideration of multiple perspectives while at the same time asserting universal truths.
Kohlberg’s Levels of Moral Development
*
1. Preconventional Level:
- how we behave as infants & children
- emphasis in decisions is on ourselves
Stage 1 - Reaction to punishment - pain avoidance
Stage 2 - Seeking of rewards - praise, candy, trip to a movie
2. Conventional Level:
- child learns the importance of conforming to norms of society
Stage 3 - Good boy/nice girl morality - rewards such as feelings of warmth, loyalty acceptance from family & peers
Stage 4 - Law and order morality - certain norms are expected in society - individual sees himself as part of a larger social system
3. Postconventional Level:
- a more advanced notion of right or wrong than that which is conventionally articulated
- moral principles are internalized, seen as "right"
- focus is on humanity as a whole
- f.
Ethics are typically defined as the rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession.
Moral Values are something that makes reaching our higher self easier. Though many people are not really conscious of this fact and tend to ditch these values as they tread of their life paths.

Chapter 5 Values and Ethical DilemmasBetty is advising a welfa.docxchristinemaritza
Chapter 5 Values and Ethical Dilemmas
Betty is advising a welfare recipient on how to deal with a welfare worker. The worker is required by law to ask the client where her former husband is and to give his Social Security number. Then the worker will turn over this information to the Department of Revenue, which will pursue the man aggressively for support. The welfare recipient knows where her former husband is, but is afraid to tell the worker because her husband had beaten her and she fears he would be abusive to her again. The woman asked what she should do. Betty knows it is wrong to lie to the worker, yet she also knows that it would be in the woman’s best interest to tell the worker that she doesn’t know where her former husband is. What should Betty tell the woman? What would you do?
Linda is a case worker in the child welfare department. The school guidance counselor has reported a mother for neglect of her child. The child is malnourished and listless. She cannot apply herself to her studies. Linda talked with the mother and found out that she formerly had received money from Transitional Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), but had reached that state’s two-year time limit and had been cut off from TANF. She tried to feed her child and often went hungry herself, but even with food stamps, she did not have enough money to feed the child adequately.
Linda’s supervisor advised her to place the child in foster care, but Linda knew that the agency did not have enough good foster parents and was having trouble recruiting them because so many women were working, and the agency did not pay enough to foster parents to make it worth their while to be foster parents. She could place the child in a foster home where there were already more children than the agency usually allowed, but would the child be any better off than in her own home? It would be traumatic for the child to be taken from her mother whom she loved. Yet she would probably get enough to eat in this foster home, even though the foster mother would not be able to give her the attention that she needs. What should Linda do?
Every attitude and value carries with it the seeds of conflict and insoluble dilemmas. Debates about the ethics of helping are not just mental gymnastics best left to university scholars or cloistered philosophers. Human service workers face dilemmas or value conflicts of one sort or another every day, no matter what their role in an agency.
ethics of helping
An ethical commitment to help others rather than engage in dog-eat-dog competition.
Sometimes there are conflicts between what we have been taught is correct behavior and what our clients do. For example, perhaps our parents, church, and school taught us that it is wrong for a woman to get an abortion; yet we may work with many people who do not share this value. Or perhaps, because everyone we knew said so, we might believe that most welfare recipients are lazy people avoiding work. Yet we find th ...

2. CRITERIA FOR A CORE VALUE
Chosen:
A value a person selects freely from
alternatives after careful examination
and with a clear understanding of the
consequences of the selection.
Prized:
A value a person is happy with and is
willing to publicly affirm.
Acted
Upon:
A value a person affirms repeatedly
through some life pattern.
Core
Value
A value that is acted upon.
5. Values Acquisition
Imprinting:
(0-5 years)
The child absorbs values through observing parents and
other family members. Parents have the greatest influence
over a child’s attitudes and beliefs.
Modeling:
(6-10 years)
Parent’s influence is decreasing as the child is exposed to
more experiences. Heroes become more important. The
child tends to model behavior after that person the
youngster sees as being the “ideal.”
Socialization
(early teen years)
The peer group is the most important influence. The
youngster begins to sort, define, and validate attitudes,
beliefs, and standards into a values system. The
independent person is beginning to emerge.
Young Adults:
The values system is tested against the “real world.” The
result of this testing will be those core values and value
indicators that will become the person’s values system.
“Why” is asked a lot.
Lock In:
The person’s values system is pretty well locked in place at
this stage. Values will not alter significantly unless there is
a major emotional experience that has a high impact on the
person.

6. A young child hears about one boy
who broke 15 cups trying to help
his mother and another boy who broke only
one cup trying to steal cookies; the young
child thinks that the first boy did worse.

7. In Europe, a woman was near death from a
special kind of cancer. There was one drug that
the doctors thought might save her. It was a form
of radium that a druggist in the same town had
recently discovered. The drug was expensive to
make, but the druggist was charging ten times
what the drug cost him to make. He paid $200 for the radium
and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick
woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to
borrow the money, but he could only get together about
$1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that
his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him
pay later. But the druggist said: "No, I discovered the drug and
I‘m going to make money from it." So Heinz got desperate and
broke into the man's store to steal the drug-for his wife. Should
the husband have done
that? (Kohlberg, 1963, p. 19)
W.C. Crain. (1985). Theories of development. 118-136..Prentice-Hall. Retrieved May 27, 2006 from http://faculty.plts.edu/gpence/html/kohlberg.htm
8. Stage 1-Obedience & Punishment Orientation
• “Bad to steal because you will get punished”
Stage 2-Individualism & Exchange
• Reasoning-What is right for Hienz is OK
• Punishment is only a risk
• Heinz doesn’t have to steal the drug if he wants to
marry someone younger and better looking
• Heinz needs to steal to have someone at home to
help with the children
• It’s OK because the druggist would not make a fair
deal
• Heinz should steal because his wife may return the
favor someday
W.C. Crain. (1985). Theories of development. 118-136..Prentice-Hall. Retrieved May 27, 2006 from http://faculty.plts.edu/gpence/html/kohlberg.htm
9. Stage 3-Good Interpersonal Relationships
• Love, empathy, trust, and concern for others
• “It was really the druggist fault for not being
fair”
Stage 4-Maintaining the Social Order
• Concerned with Society as a whole-laws,
authority, keep social order
• Like stage one, BUT understands WHY we
have rules/laws to have a “good society”.
W.C. Crain. (1985). Theories of development. 118-136..Prentice-Hall. Retrieved May 27, 2006 from http://faculty.plts.edu/gpence/html/kohlberg.htm
10. Stage 5-Social Contract & Individual Rights
• “What is a good society?”—People freely work toward the
benefit of all--life, liberty, and democratic process for
changing or improving society-benefit maximization
• Heinz’s wife’s life (or any life) is more important than
property-this transcends other standards
Stage 6-Universal Principles (theoretical stage)
• Abe Lincoln, MLK and Mahatma Ghandi-The principles of
justice require us to treat the claims of ALL people in an
impartial manner, respecting the basic dignity of ALL
people (UNIVERSAL)-The Golden Rule
• Seek first to understand!
• Heinz’s wife should be saved and druggist should
understand this
• Few folks use this consistently

11. Studies conducted on 72 boys
• Rules and rights vs. interpersonal relationships
(compassion and care)
• Carol Gilligan: boys vs. girls
How much do we really consider our core
values in our reasoning? Or do we use intuition
(gut feeling most of the time? Ethics?
Listening to moral judgment is not good enough-
must formulate our own position with thoughtful
questioning and/or experiences
13. The “correct” decision or action is not clear and may violate
one’s own conscience or an ethical principle or be harmful to
others.
The decision calls for a delicate balancing of complicated
issues surrounding the rights and fair treatment or the harm
and benefits to all.
The “correct” decision is in conflict with the existing norms and
values of an organization.
The decision creates a conflict between the organization’s
needs and individual’s personal values.
The “correct” decision is clear, but the cost of acting on the
decision seems unreasonable high to the individual, the group,
or the organization.
The situation is totally new and there are no existing norms and
standards to guide the decision-making process.

22. Factors That Influence Decisions
Interest of constituencies (e.g. stakeholders,
community members, faculty, BOE, district
administration)
Competitive pressures (high stakes testing, co-
curricular programs, common assessments)
Public health and safety considerations
Legal considerations
Government regulations
Peer or group pressures
Social pressures
Professional code of conduct
The tension between the decision maker’s personal
standards or values and the needs of the
organization.
25. We need a coherent view of our own role
and our own authority and of how to deal
with conflicting demands made upon us
We need a coherent vision of the
education we wish to provide and we
ought to provide it.
What are the norms of ethical decision
making?
26. Break the law
Do not tell the truth
Deviate from moral rectitude
Right vs. wrong = easy
Right vs. right = hard
27. Could we be successful with the following:
Be truthful
Do not steal from our schools
Not be racist or sexist
Avoid conflicts of interest
Make fair decisions
These are important, but we need more to
create school into a great educational
community (the science vs. the art).
29. What is the problem?
What are the circumstances out of which the problem arose?
What are the end results I want to receive?
What is the right thing to do? What is the successful thing to do?
What is your first inclination for course of action?
What is the continuum of possible solutions?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of each solution?
Community Acceptability Test
Does this solution conform to my school, community, district,
professional code of conduct?
Is it legal?
Is it safe?
Does it adhere to the values of the community?
What would mother think if my decision shows up on the front
page of the newspaper?
Personal Value Test
Does it adhere to my personal values?
Can I sleep tonight?
What ethical or moral principals are involved? (benefit maximization,
equal respect, equal treatment, maximin principle)
What is your decision?
32. People are just begging to be told what to
do. There are a lot of reasons for this;
possibly, the biggest one is:
"If you tell me what to do, the
responsibility for the outcome
is yours, not mine. I'm safe."
When asked, resist.
33. “I find comfort in the fact that the longer I’m
in politics the less nourishing popularity
becomes, that a striving for power and
rank and fame seems to betray a poverty
of ambition, and that I am answerable
mainly to the steady gaze of my own
conscience.”
Obama, B. (2006). The audacity of hope: Thoughts on reclaiming the American
dream. Crown publishing group. p. 134.
36. At the public high school where I teach, a school
sponsored student club, Sharing Our Spirit, staged a “Pro
Life Day of Silent Solidarity” during school hours. Students
wore red armbands and did not speak. The club’s faculty
adviser sent an e-mail to the entire faculty, including this:
“They will be standing on behalf of the one-third of their
generation that have been innocent victims of abortion.”
Was the students’ activity legitimate? The adviser’s?
