Professional Ethics & Values: Analysis of Case Studies

This document contains analyses of two case studies related to professional ethics and values: In the first case study, the manager outlines a plan to support an employee who is struggling to balance work and personal responsibilities by reducing her hours, ensuring she is briefed on key information, and promoting fairness in the workplace. The second case study involves an employee whose request for emergency leave to be with their dying mother was rejected. The employee concludes they cannot resign their position and will rely on family to care for their mother, but will video call when possible. They believe resigning would jeopardize their career and go against what their mother sought to provide by supporting their education.

PROFESSIONAL ETHICS & VALUES

ANALYSIS OF CASE STUDIES

Submitted by: -
Prince (BFT/18/513)
Case study - 1
As the manager, I would first of all stop those people from sayings things about her. A
workplace should be free from all the criticisms. I would request everyone to co-operate
with her as this is a very serious situation which anyone can face.
I would ask her to shift to a work which has a lesser number of hours, so that, she can
keep earning and there she can get some time extra to manage her personal life.
If there is no such possibility available, and to maintain a healthy work environment, I
would personally talk to the other workers and try to make them understand what she is
going through. There are no such things like "a woman has a place only in her home", she
is a human being, and that situation can arise to any people around us.
I would try to make meetings in the middle of the day so that she doesn't miss out or brief
her personally when she comes. I would talk to her to at least give the required time to the
company.
I know that other overworking people can be hating her for the situation but to control that,
I can bring out a proposition that whoever does their task with full effort shall be given
preference in the next promotion. Also, it is a responsibility of an employee to complete
any work given to him/her unless it is unethical or life threatening.
But even after all this, if she is unable to do the work efficiently, I will ask her to take a
leave and re-join us when the situation gets better. As a manager, ruining the company's
productivity is a very bad thing. We provided leniency in her work to our extreme extent.
Giving her the salary as same as there other people might mislead them towards the
company or me as a manager. So, keeping a fair and square rule either she should be cut
a little on her salary or she can take a leave.
If we could hire another person for her place, he/she may do extra hours to fill in the gap
which opened dur to her at the same expense of the company.
Case study – 2
The emergency leave has been rejected, so the only option for me to be with my mother
is to resign from the position.
But I don't think a mother's heart would be comfortable to hear that her only son/daughter
left his/her job to be with her in the last moments of her life.
If I resign from the position and my mother asks about the reason, how I was able to come,
what would I answer? I can't lie to her in her death bed. So, I would tell my family to be
with her and take care of her in her last times. Whenever I get a free time, I would start a
video call and see her as long as I can.
It is not possible for me to take a work from home option as this job requires field work,
going from one poll centre to another and see if the work is done as per the protocol.
Yes, it would be very difficult for me to concentrate on the work with what is happening in
my personal life, but as an employee I should try not to mix my personal feelings in the
work as it may result in failure of the work allotted to me.
Not seeing her in the last moments is going to be very depressing but I can't my carrier
put on stake. I think at this stage she completed her approximately 80-90% of her role of
parenting by making me eligible to have a family and carrier of my own, so rather than
jeopardizing what she did for me, by resigning from the job, it is best for us to be this way.
Also, if this would have been my case, if I would have been on my death bed, I would
never want my child to leave his/her job to see for the last time.
