The purpose of this discussion is to give you the
opportunity to apply ethical theories and
perspectives to modern issues of the workplace.
Off-duty conduct away from the workplace can
be monitored and reported in many ways. These
ways have only grown due to the increase in
social media use, which provides employers far

2. greater opportunities to become aware of what
employees do outside of the workplace. Some
types of behaviors are especially concerning, as
they may have on-duty consequences. Other
types of off-duty behavior, however, are more
difficult to clearly define as grossly inappropriate
and warranting employer intervention. But who
draws this line, and what are the ethical
implications of where the line is drawn? Prepare
and post a response to the following prompt:
Using the resources provided, your own
research, and your knowledge of the ethical
concepts from the text, consider the issue of off-
site monitoring of conduct:
• Considering your own work experience,
imagine a circumstance in which your
supervisor monitored your behavior off the job.
Describe the circumstances, including how and
why your conduct was monitored.
• Would you consider your example to involve
a minor, moderate, or severe invasion of an
individual’s privacy? Explain your reasoning.
Share your unemotional, well-defined, evidence-
based response to your boss to support your
viewpoint.

3. • What issues do you believe led to your
employer monitoring you? Use one ethical
theory or perspective to help support your
employer’s viewpoint, and use a scholarly
source as your evidence.
• What about your viewpoint as the employee?
Use one ethical theory or perspective to support
an employee’s right to privacy outside of work,
and use a scholarly source as your evidence.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in
length. Support your claims with examples from
the required resources and/or other scholarly
sources, and properly cite any references in APA
style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
Respond to at least two of your classmates’
posts by Day 7.
