2. apply an ethical decision-making approach to achieve better outcomes.

Answer the questions provided in this document. A space will be provided to answer the question and to provide a reference list. Do not amend the document in any other way.

Part A

Question 1: Describe the ethical issues inherent in bullying and harassment in the workplace. Can bullying be linked to management style? Use the case study to inform your answer (300-400 words).

Question 2: What are the ethical issues involved in cases of discipline and dismissal? Make sure that you discuss the rights of employers and employees, and use the case study to support your answer (300-400 words).

Question 3: What are the ethical issues involved with "whistleblowing"? For whistleblowing to be conducted in an ethical manner, how should it be done? Does the case study describe ethical whistleblowing? Explain your answer (300-400 words).

Question 4: Use the AAA Ethical Decision-making model to review the decision by Sally McDow to "blow the whistle". Was her decision ethical? Use the facts from the case to support your responses to each step of the AAA model (300-400 words).

Part B

Question: Assume that Origin Energy does not (or did not) have an effective ethics program at the time of the events described in the case study.

Advise Origin Energy why they should have an ethics program, what needs to be done to make it effective, and what it should contain.

Emphasise how an effective ethics program could have prevented the need for a whistleblower to highlight the problems with Origin's operations. Support your answers with examples from the case study (1,200-1,600 words).

Please be aware that because every student will be submitting the same answer document, I expect to see very high scores. Do not be concerned, but if you have been copying or extensively paraphrasing, this will still generate a higher score than other students and will be investigated. If you are unable to submit in this period through illness or because of some family emergency, you can apply for an extension in the usual way. You will be given details of a different submission period and you will be given different questions to answer. You will only have 5 days to lodge your submission.
