Another example of commitment and consistency principle is that Kristin supporters argued that if we promoted Suzanne or Nancy then this might cause friction between them. Therefore, we should support Kristin. This argument does not have any basis from the case. It is possible also that hiring an external candidate to the position would make Suzanne and Nancy angry because they might feel less motivated as nether of them is promoted. They have no reason to discuss that argument but since they took a position to support Kristin, they feel committed to that position.…
Because of his success, he fails to realize the second and third order effects of his actions. Ben’s subordinates are regularly placed in ethical dilemmas. If an employee chooses to be truthful, it could ultimately hurt the organization. Ben is the leader, and by showing the employees he is willing to lie without much thought, it may make them question their own ability to tell the truth. Furthermore, Ben’s actions affect the culture of his subordinates, and how truthful they choose to be. As Confucius states, a leader’s character affects his subordinates’ character as the wind affects blades of grass (as cited by Ciulla, 2003, p. 135). This is illustrated in the case study as Ben’s secretary and his assistant lie to cover for…
| Employee commitment comes from employees who believe their future is tied to that of the organization and their willingness to make personal sacrifices for the organization.…
When trust and faith are achieved in a relationship a feeling of freedom comes over the party that has formed the relationship. A freedom of speech with one another and a freedom to full heartedly constitute actions that express your true self and uniqueness. When you preserve your heart to another you give them the feeling of importance and power over your life, meaning that their decisions and actions will affect you. Just like when Barry paid for him and Moira to go rock climbing, even if only a limited amount of trust was involved she ended up going because of the decisions he made. Moira went, but she got upset because "he had committed her to something without her consent".…

Loyalty, and the idea of a responsibility hierarchy between self, group, and population is a factor that should be identified and followed respectively when faced with a consequential scenario. This hierarchy: Self over group and group over population, is the order in which one should base any decision with consequential outcomes, and only in a position where these consequences are minimized, can the individual begin to aid those parties in relation to the presented hierarchy. Respectively, self is the loyalty to one’s own personal needs, whereas group is one’s responsibility to those similar to self (i.e. common interests or state), and lastly population is one’s loyalty to every human – even to those with conflicting interests. Through textual…

In discussions on behavior and morality, an individual is said to possess the virtue of integrity if the individual's actions are based upon an internally consistent framework of principles. These principles should uniformly adhere to sound logical axioms or postulates. One can describe a person as having ethical integrity to the extent that the individual's actions, beliefs, methods, measures and principles all derive from a single core group of values. An individual must therefore be flexible and willing to adjust these values in order to maintain consistency when these values are challenged; such as when an expected test result fails to be congruent with all observed outcomes. Because such flexibility is a form of accountability, it is regarded as a moral responsibility as well as a virtue.…
