Allow sufficient time to complete this assignment. It will be a very good way to review the chapter in a broad manner.

1. Refer to the ethics information in the previous chapters and review both the staffing laws summarized in table 3-2 and the seven ethical theories summarized in table 3-9. How would you handle each of these situations given the law and each ethical theory? Why do you recommend the action that you chose?

1. Your company is considering automating its manufacturing and packaging process, displacing 700 factory workers in a small town. The automation is expected to reduce the company's costs by 15 percent, allow it to reduce its new jobs in areas related to the new technology. Do you recommend that the company adopt the technology?

2. Kathy comes to you with a personal issue. She explains that she has a gambing problem that has created a large debt. Kathy would like to work some overtime for the extra pay, but she does not want the reason to go into her employee record or be shared with anyone else. You are worried that because she is in sales and eligible for commission Kathy is at a high risk of engaging in behavior that undermines the companys reputation with its customers. Given the discrepancies in her expense claims, you are concerned that kathy might even be stealing from the company, and her gambling problem could you explain why. Do you give her the overtime? Do you honor her request for privacy? Why or why not?

3. Bill has had declining performance for the past year despite multiple efforts on the part of his manager to help him improve, and his manager would like to terminate him. Bill has been going through a divorce, and his teenage children have not been taking it well, causing him to leave work early, come in late, and distracting him while he works. He has acknowledged the problem and tried to stay focused on his work, but he has not been successful, and it looks like the divorce could last quite a while longer. Do you terminate Bill? Why or why not?

4. After extensive effort and expenses, you have identified an amazingly accurate job-related predictor of job success that you would like to use in your selection process. Unfortunately, you also learn that the predictor has an adverse selection effect for men. For an unknown reason, men pass the assessment at a rate less than half that of women. The next most accurate predictor of job success doesn't do nearly as good a job, and it is very expensive. Do you use the new predictor? Why or why not?
