In BE439 this year we have explored the various ways that ethical decisions are experienced, mediated, and managed in contemporary organisations. A variety of different policies and procedures are employed within organisations to attempt to manage ethical behaviour; these processes can not only place demands on us as employees and managers, but also as consumers and citizens, and as members of our families. As Critchley (2007) has shown, such ethical demands not only influence our motivations and actions but can help to shape our very sense of moral selfhood.
Write an essay exploring some ethical dilemmas which individuals have been experiencing within organisations during the current phase of the COVID-19 crisis – a phase during which government furlough and national lockdown policies have come to an end in most countries, and organisations are trying to resume some level of normal activity in the face of labour and supply chain shortages and ongoing health risks for employees.
For this essay you are required to refer to concrete, real-life examples, as reported in the media or in publicly available company documents or government reports in order to develop your argument. You are also required to apply Critchley’s (2007) framework for understanding the nature of individual ethical experience, using his concepts of “demand,” “approval,” “ethical experience” and “moral selfhood,” in order to explore how ethical experience is being shaped for individuals in different positions (managers, various different employees, owners) within organisations during this current phase of the COVID pandemic.
