What values should your students be exploring in their studies?
Accountability
Honesty
Fairness
Pursuit of Excellence
Caring
Loyalty
Integrity
Promise Keeping
Respect for Others
Responsible Citizenship
These values are based on the work of Mary Guy, and her book Ethical decisionmaking in everyday work situations. This book takes a new approach to ethics by focusing on the kinds of dilemmas that confront people almost daily on the job. Guy presents the ten core values, which she has found are accepted across race, culture and gender. These values surround ethical dilemmas, demonstrating the way in that personnel can sensitize themselves to the values involved in a problem and reach a solution which maximizes the important values. The Mary Guy's unique contribution is to meld philosophy with everyday decision-making, offering the reader a common sense approach to making ethical decisions. Real-life case examples illustrate ethical dilemmas that involve personnel practices, organizing strategies, reporting functions, supervisory practices, #whistleblowing, and more.
