Questions of Ethical Decision Making

1. Describe the organizational culture at CrudeOil. How does it contribute to the

current situation?

Answer: Jim treated all of the employees wih intimidating behavior based on
productivity levels and not moral or ethical concepts. His leadership style is
coercive and demands immediate compliance. If this syle were summed up in
one phrase, it would be “ Do what I tell you”. In our opinion, it should be
avoided because it can alienate employees and create a hostile work
environment.

2. How is CrudeOil violating its core value of treating others with respect? What
are some

Answer: “The company’s core value is to treat everyone with respect”(Ferrel,

2015, pg147). Employees and supervisors, in our experiences, of the reat he
colleagues in harsh an unethical manners only as far as the victim allows it to
happen. Financila and reputational harm are questionable and unethical
behaviors and organizational policies must be clearly established to
reincorporate this value into its culture.

3. Ways it could reincorporate this core value into its organizational culture? If
Madison cannot report her problems to her immediate supervisor, what are some
other ways she can handle the situation?

Answer: We would suggest for Madison to seek advice from a trusted

professional, such as the HR compliance officcer to verify the actions are
inappropriate, if so, Madison needs to learn what process is available for voicing
her concern to a higher level. Jim’s behavior is clearly unethical, but money of
these behaviors are less clear and occur in complex situations. The most
complicated situations often involve employees who witnes what iis, or appears
to be, unethical behavior and are unsure how to respond, especially if job
security is on the line.
