Sources of ethical dilemma in business research

3. How can you manage ethical issues as researcher?

The dilemmas which emerge from different sources of actions or conduct, such as failure of pers
onal character, conflict of personal values and organizational objectives, organizational objective
s versus social values, etc.

Explanation:

Ethical dilemmas in business research:

 Ethical dilemmas are particularly important in professional life, as they also arise in the w
orkplace. Some businesses and 

professional associations (e.g. CFAs) adhere to their own codes of ethics and ethical principles. 
Breaches of standards can lead 

to disciplinary sanctions. 

 Almost every aspect of business can become a potential source for ethical dilemmas. The
se may include relationships 

with staff, management, clients and business partners.

 People's failure to find an optimal solution to these dilemmas in a professional environme
nt can have significant implications 

for companies and organizations. The condition could be popular in companies that have the mos
t profit. 

 Companies and organizations should establish strict ethical guidelines for their workers i
n order to solve ethical problems. 

Every company must demonstrate its concerns about ethical standards within the organization. In 
addition , companies should provide their employees with ethical training
The sources of the ethical dilemma in a business researcher originate of the buisiness decision
maker . However, the ethical dilemma sources originate from conflict of personal values and
business objectives, personal character failure, and the social values versus the organizational
goals (Schwartz 771). However, the three are significant sources of ethical dilemmas.
Organization goals verse the social values; thus, if the social values are not aligned with the
organizational objectives, there might be a high chance of generating a social dilemma. Personal
costs versus organizational goals are another source of the ethical dilemma when the business
decision-maker values do not conform to the organizational goals. Failure of the personal
character may occur when the business decision-maker lack the character traits that are very
crucial for business success

Recommendation

Any unethical behaviour on the part of the assistant is the responsibility of the researcher thus all
assistant should be well-trained and supervised.
