Jenny’s Dilemma: Work Position in Question? HEAVEN-LEIGH SANTOS

Case Study Overview We will be looking at a scenario that describes a professional conflict and will be exploring the ethical dilemma presented in the case study: Jenny: I do not know Rhonda, something about this just does not seem right to me. Should I teach the biopsych course even though I have had almost no experience? I mean, why me? Rhonda: Yeah, have you ever noticed how whenever a problem crops up at the last minute, it is always up to one of us to come in and save the day? Jenny: I just don't get it. None of the full professors ever gets overloaded like this. Why didn't Ben go to Alan? Do you think it is because we are not full professors yet or maybe it is because we are women? Rhonda: I do not know. It seems like an old boys club to me. I bet if they asked Alan to teach the class they would have offered to pay to pay him something extra. They didn't offer to pay you something extra, did they? Jenny: No, of course not. Rhonda: See what I mean? Jenny: Yeah, (sigh) something about it just isn't right.

Ethical Concerns • Not being able to provide the students with the education they are needing in order to be successful within their academic careers • Needing to be properly qualified and requiring more education on a professional level in order to provide desired information listed on the syllabus • Not being treated equally or fairly as whenever something occurs, the part-time staff is approached but the full professors don’t ever get bothered

Consequentialism Theory Deontological Theory • Ethical position depends on the consequences of the action with the goal being producing the most good • The good is known by its consistency with moral rules and principles • The more good consequences an act produces, the better or more right that act • Prioritizes absolute obligations over consequences Comparison of consequentialism & deontological theories

Consequentialism Theory Deontological Theory  Whether an act is right or wrong depends only on the results of that act • A decision is moral only if a rational person believes the act resulting from the decision should be universally followed in all situations Comparison of consequentialism & deontological theories

Ethical Decision Making with the Fisher’s Model • Step 1: Develop and sustain a professional commitment to doing what is right. • Step 2: Acquire sufficient familiarity with the APA's "Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct" to anticipate situations that require ethical planning and to identify unanticipated situations that require ethical decision making. • Step 3: Gather additional facts relevant to the specific ethical situation from professional guidelines, state and federal laws, and organizational policies. • Step 4: Make efforts to understand the perspective of different stakeholders who will be affected by the decision and consult with colleagues.

Ethical Decision Making with the Fisher’s Model cont’d • Step 5: Apply Steps 1 to 4 to generate ethical alternatives and evaluate each alternative in terms of moral theories, general principles and ethical standards, relevant laws and policies, and consequences to stakeholders. • Step 6: Select and implement an ethical course of action. • Step 7: Monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the course of action. • Step 8: Modify and continue to evaluate the ethical plan if feasible and necessary.

Proposed Resolution • Jenny can try to sit down with Ben, chairperson, again to provide her concerns once again and come up with a solution that would be more feasible and make sense for succession of the students • If the conversation does not go the way Jenny thinks it could go, she can go speak with staff above Ben, to get more insight as to what can be done to ensure there is adequate coverage for the course • Once coverage is provided to the students in need of graduating, she will see that she did the right thing by speaking up and letting Ben know her thoughts and concerns

Proposed Resolution • Jenny can ensure that moving forward all staff are treated equally no matter gender or position, if a situation similar occurs in the future, there would be a plan in place that they can follow • Jenny can also inquire about further education/training for herself to ensure that she is able to help in other subject matters if necessary and not feel as if she will be doing a disservice to the students or staff by not having enough educational experience in other areas • Ben would then be more mindful when asking other staff members to cover for subjects outside of their education, to ensure he is selecting or asking the best candidate to execute the task at hand
