Mid-Term Case StudyProblemsLael Matthews is faced with an ethical dilemma. He must decide which of the three managers to promote. Each manager has their own advantages and disadvantages, and Lael's superior also has his own preferences and concerns. Lael has to make a moral decision and hopefully one that satisfies all parties involved. According to the article "Thinking Ethically: A Framework for Moral Decision Making", developed by Manuel Velasquez, Claire Andre, Thomas Shanks, SJ, and Michael J. Meyer, there are five different value approaches to addressing moral issues, which are: the utilitarian approach: the ethical decision should provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people; the rights approach: the decision should respect everyone's moral rights; the fairness or justice approach: decision making should treat everyone equally, unless there is a justifiable reason not to do so, and it does not show favoritism or discrimination; the common good approach: promotes the common good because individuals whose good is inextricably linked to the good of the community; The virtue approach: assumes that there are some ideals towards which we should strive, which provide for the full development of our humanity. This is the framework I will use in my article. InputLael is going to review the following three managers of the company: Liz, Roy and Quang Yeh. Below are the facts that I think might impact this issue, show them as a table so it makes it easier for us to compare their differences, which is helpful in creating a utilitarian approach.Liz Roy Quang YehRace African American White American AsianAge 34 57 27Marriage Divorced Married SingleChildren 1 (medical problems) 3 0Sc...... middle of paper ......er Workers”, by Stephen Bastien, hiring older workers can help the company maintain a reliable workforce and dedicated and provide significant cost savings for both the short and long term. Roy's unique abilities are invaluable. Many in the company think they have earned it and that is important. Operation The operational objective of the choice should satisfy most people in the company and the action should be moral. Lael should make everyone in the company understand how he made this decision. According to “Create a Culture of Trust,” by Noreen Kelly, communication and transparency are one of the keys to creating a culture of trust. Below are the specific action steps: Make sure everyone understands what the company is looking for. Promote Roy. Tell everyone why he earned it. Offer Liz a reasonable amount of financial help to demonstrate the company's support for Liz and her family.
