Analyzing ethics. Please follow the below outline.

Criteria:

This paper must be at least 5 pages of content (not including the cover page or reference page), and completed in APA format (7th edition). Aside from utilizing the text as a source, you are required to use at least 2 additional scholarly resources for the research and incorporate the information throughout the paper with proper in-text citations and include specific examples that support the analysis (your examples, not ones from the textbook).   Please check out the library online databases or consult with a librarian to find scholarly articles and resources.. The paper needs to be submitted as a Word document.

Your paper must include the following:

• Cover Page
• Introduction (1 to 2 paragraphs maximum)
• Purpose Statement (2 to 3 sentences). There is an example of a purpose statement for this paper in the Expectations for Short Papers document – use this as a guide. 
• Analysis – each bulleted criterion is a major part of the paper and needs to be thoroughly addressed. (3.5 to 4 pages maximum)
  • What purpose does an ethical climate serve, and why is it important to an organization?  (First major part of the analysis)
  • How do biases* impact our moral decision making? (Pick 2) (Please note: The biases* that are required for this paper, are located in the “Values, Ethics, and Character” chapter).  (Second major part of the analysis)
    • *Please note:  the biases are located in the Values, Ethics, and Character chapter from Week 2 (Hughes et al., 2019) and include implicit prejudice, in-group favoritism, overclaiming credit, and conflicts of interest.
  • Provide an example of an ethical issue.  Why is this issue unethical? What behaviors are occurring that are unethical?  (Third major part of the paper)
    • Please note: the ethical issue should be of sufficient size and occurred, or is occurring, at a well-known organization or involving a well-known person to allow for an in-depth analysis – for example, similar in size to the issue in the Sample Ethics Paper – it should not be a hypothetical issue.
  • How could the ethical issue have been avoided?  In other words, what are some of the leadership actions that should have been implemented to establish an ethical climate?  (Fourth major part of the paper)
    • Please note: think about the 5 components that help leaders “create and sustain an ethical climate” that we examined in the week 2 discussion post. Just pick 1 from the list of 5 – see list in following bullet.
      • The list of components from which to choose one includes:  formal ethics policies, core ideology, integrity, structural reinforcement, and process focus.
  • Conclusion (1 to 2 paragraphs maximum)
• Reference page
