Case Study : Just sign the Forms Matt , a new employee at TransWorld Industries ( TWI ) , showed up bright and early for his first day of orientation . He was very excited . He had applied for several jobs in the area , but TWI was the one he really wanted . He had friends there , and they had told him that the company seemed to be growing very quickdy with lots of new products coming online . To Matt , growth meant new opportunities , and he was looking forward to applying to the management training programme as soon as he finished his 90 - day probationary period Scott , Matt's new boss , was waiting for him as soon as he reached the factory floor . " Hey , Matt very punctual 1 like that said Steve , looking at this watch . Listen kid . I know HR gave you a list of things to be checked off today - payroll paperwork , training videos , parking pass . ID , and all that stutt but we could really use an extra pair of hands around here Your position was wacant for quite a while , and we've built a nasty backlog of work that needs to get caught up ASAP . We could really use your help on the SAP system you've worked with one of those before , right ? Matr nodded , not quite sure where this was going . " Well , here's the deal , " said Scott " The way I see it , all those videos are going to do is tell you not to harass anyone around here , not to insult anyone's mee , and not to do anything unethical which you weren't going to do anyway , right ? Matt nodded again , still not sure where this was going " So I think all that time spent watching TT would be put to better use on that backlog of work on the SAP system . We can book the shipments , get paid in the customers that have been waiting very patiently , and you can make a good impression on your first day - sound good to you kid ? " But what about the videos asked Matt " Oh , don't worry about them , " said Scott We keep them here in the othee You just sign the forms saying you watched the videos and take them up to HR after lunch when you do all your other paperwork , OK ? 1. ( a ) HR requires that these training videos be viewed for a reason What risks is Scott taking here ? Discuss the role of HR in managing ethics internally? ( b ) What should Matt do now ? Justify your recommendation based on ONE of the theories of ethics . c ) If anyone from HR ever found out that he didn't watch the training videos , but claimed he did , evaluate Matt's chances of joining the management - training programme .
