Question

Marla was faced with an ethical dilemma at work. Her long-time friend and colleague Josh was not performing at an acceptable level, which caused others on the work shift to have to pick up the slack. As his new supervisor, Marla knew she would have to confront him. She wanted to convey a sense of fairness to him as well as the rest of his work team. As she measured her plan of approach, what question regarding ethical dilemmas would she most likely ask herself?

Answer 1

Answer:

Is my approach professional and beneficial for the company?

Explanation:

Marla is facing an ethical dilemma best known as bias. As she has a personal relationship with Josh and has known him for a while now, she can't be purely objective when it comes to evaluating his performance. Even though she's pretty aware that his performance hasn't been up to the level required, their friendship might raise issues of value judgments. As her friend's supervisor, she needs to be as impartial, fair, transparent, and honest  as possible. Her way to handle this situation will define her trustworthiness and loyalty towards the company and the other employees she's supervising.
