Assignment :Attitudes toward Workplace Ethics
Consider this statement from a respondent in a recent survey of ethical decision-making among young public relations professionals (remember that ethics and morals are not necessarily the same thing and that "ethics" are culturally constructed-that is, what is ethical for one population, nation, or organization is not necessarily true for another. There are macro-level ethics such as societal and micro-level ethics such as what we might find in the organizational culture.):
"At this point in my life, a job is a job, and in terms of ethics, I'll do what I have to do to keep my job; my personal feelings will take a back seat. With the economy so bad, it's just one of those things. I can't afford to let my personal feelings complicate my career."
Questions: Do you agree that personal morals must not get in the way of one's career? Under what circumstances would you reserve comment and keep focused on your own work?
