Assignment 2: Examples of Ethical and Legal I/O Scenarios in
Application
Every course in this program has stressed the importance of
ethical and legal considerations for I/O professionals. In this
discussion forum, you will describe, using between one and
three paragraphs, a realistic and specific scenario that has
ethical and legal implications relevant to I/O. Your scenario
needs to be specific and concise and can be based either on a
personal experience or on one that received media attention.
Next, you will explain how you would act to resolve the ethical
and/or legal problems inherent in your scenario. Refer to an
ethical decision-making model in your proposed resolution. Be
sure to mention any relevant federal laws and to make a
distinction between elements in your scenario that are strictly
ethical in nature and elements in your scenario that are
governed by federal laws.
A nonexhaustive list of possible topic areas for your scenario
includes outsourcing, globalization, compensation, hiring illegal
immigrants, corporate social responsibility and the
environment, workplace drug testing, discrimination and
employment testing, or consultant–client confidentiality in
organizational settings.
