Ethical Considerations

Ethical Considerations

Order Description
Please read each summary and answer the 2 questions for each… There are 4 questions total. Does not need to be page form but does need to be in APA..

Each person comes from a different sociocultural background even if the backgrounds are similar. As such, each person brings a separate set of beliefs and values that are reflected in his or her ethics. Organizations operate in much the same manner; each organization has various environmental influences that shape beliefs, values, and ethical standards and practices. When organizations from different countries attempt to work with each other, imagine the potential for chaos given that not only do the organizations have ethical differences, so too do the individual leaders and managers in each organization. When you factor in the broader stakeholders in each country with similar types of ethical differences, chaos seems unavoidable. However, organizations manage to effectively operate despite ethical differences every day.

Consider the aforementioned aspects, and using the module readings and the Argosy University online library resources, research the impact of ethical factors on OB. Then, respond to the following:

• How do ethics factor into organizational behavior?
• How might the deontological and the consequential perspectives of an organization’s leaders and managers affect working with people in different countries?

Be sure that your response does not simply state that something is ethical or unethical. It should be founded in ethical theories or perspectives.

Consider how individual differences, beyond mere ethics, might influence organizational outcomes. No two individuals are alike. In addition to differences such as ethnicity, race, age, and gender, there are a multitude of additional diverse characteristics that set people apart. While there is great opportunity for such differences to negatively affect an organization, there are arguably great opportunities for them to positively affect an organization as well.

• Explain how individual differences might be synergistic to organizational behavior.
• Describe how various components of diversity contribute to the synergy.

Be sure to include more components of diversity than simply race, ethnicity, and gender. Give reasons and examples that are supported with research no more than 10 years old.
