Ethical Decision-making. Questionswhat is the framework for ethical decision making? - answer• In business, people make
decisions differently than at home
• Organizational pressures have a strong influence
• The ethical decision-making process includes:
1. Ethical issue intensity
2. individual factors
3. organizational factors
• the framework for ethical decision making does not describe how to make ethical
decisions
•
outlines the factors and processes related to ethical decision making
what factors apply to the ethical-decision making framework? - answer The ethical
decision-making framework cannot tell you if a business decision is ethical or unethical,
but it does provide you with insights and knowledge about typical ethical decision-
making process in business organizations.
It is unlikely that an organisations ethical problems will be solved through a thorough
knowledge about how ethical decisions are made - but some knowledge of descriptive
research in business ethics can help you to identify factors that should be considered.
Ethical decision making within an organization does not rely strictly on the personal
values and morals of individuals.
Knowledge of moral philosophies or values must be balanced with business knowledge
and understanding of the complexities of the dilemma requiring a decision.
Organizations take on a culture of their own, which, when combined with corporate
governance mechanisms, have a significant influence on business ethics.
what is issue intensity? - answer•The intensity of an ethical issue relates to its perceived
importance to the decision maker.
•Individuals subject to many influences that determine how intense an ethical issue is
perceived to be.
•Magnitude of consequences (1 person mildly annoyed = low, 10,000 people killed or
injured = high)
•Social consensus (agreement that act is wrong = high)
•Probability of effect (unlikely to happen = low)
•Temporal immediacy (in a million years = low, right now = high)
