As a director of social services I have seen several unethical practice in the workplace for example: the director of operations only eats with the all Hispanic staff in her office and only allow the African American to go to lunch one at a time. The same director allows the Hispanic staff to put in vacation within a day but the African American has to adhere to the companies policy of two weeks. Her security staff which is African American “accept that behavior.
In 1,400-word paper, explain what you would do if you found an unethical practice in your workplace. Would it depend on the severity of the unethical practice?
Provide a couple examples of potential unethical practices in your organization that could be considered very minor that people have come to “accept” as opposed to reporting.
Justify why you think that people tend to accept some unethical practices while others are not accepted. Create a continuum of severity model regarding ethical practices in organizations and discuss your model. How did you arrive at the model you created?
