 How do you think we might be able to recognize when we are
rewarding the wrong thing? What steps can Organizations take
to recognize these instances?

Sometimes, It is hard to Recognize when we are rewarding the wrong thing as

we may believe that we are actually doing the right thing instead.
The Steps Organisations can take are :

Change the Strategy of Rewards to Punishment of Wrong - doings

Receive Feedback from Peers/Colleagues

Feedback from Customer

 Is rewarding the Unintended Behavior or Outcome
always unethical? Why or why not?

ORGANISATIONS CAN MAKE MISTAKES WHILE REWARDING THEIR

EMPLOYEES OR REWARD THE WRONG BEHAVIOUR; WHICH MAY NOT
BE SEEN AS ETHICAL PRACTICES FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE. THE
REASONS FOR SAME CAN BE :

Rewarder made the decision Rewarder made the decision

to reward the wrong person to reward the wrong person
without sufficient knowledge but his intention was Positive
 Do you think it is possible for a reward program to start out
rewarding the appropriate behavior at its inception but then
begin to reward the wrong thing over time? Why or why not?

Yes, It is possible for a reward program to be effective at the beginning but it

may lack certain aspects of a proper rewarding programme, which may lead to
giveaway of rewards to employees for wrong reasons.

No proper training course for employees

No test or exams to justify the rewards

No minimum working hours to qualify
