Solving Organizational Ethics ProblemsOrganizations are always faced with ethical dilemmas and situations that affect their decision making. For companies to be successful, they must be able to resolve ethical issues that may arise in the workplace. Resolving ethical issues within an organization takes time, communication, and implementation. Managers must communicate to other employees what is expected of them and how they should react in an ethical situation. When managers make decisions regarding ethical behavior, they cannot simply make a decision and leave it alone. Managers must be the driving force in implementing those decisions. Ethical issues can destroy an organization if they are not attacked with a strong approach. One ethical issue that can be very harmful to an organization is hiring friends or acquaintances and discriminating against others based on race. When an ethical dilemma arises, employees must be patient as they attempt to resolve the problem. Solving ethical problems is not easy and can take time. Managers must be aware of the necessary steps to take to resolve a problem that may be harmful to an organization's culture or ethics. Problem clarification, stakeholder analysis, values ​​identification, problem resolution, response to objections, and implementation of the resolution are the six steps that should be taken when attempting to solve an ethical problem. Before attempting to solve an ethical problem, managers must first ask themselves six simple questions: Is it fair, is it fair, who gets hurt, would you feel comfortable if the decisions were reported on the front page of a local newspaper, what would you say to do to your child, and… half of paper…managers need to be aware that certain behaviors will not be tolerated. Discipline is important in implementing a decision. All employees in organizations must be aware of the punishments, such as dismissals, demotions, and monetary effects that can result from not behaving the way the organization expects. Hiring employees based on race can have many negative effects on an organization. The importance of not discriminating against people due to racial, ethnic or religious differences is very important to the success of the organization.
