The beer company had a reputation of being like “family” but it turned out that it was like no family she had ever known. The sales and marketing director seems to out of his way to diminish the employee’s importance by making comments like “If you want to leave, go ahead. I’ve got another 1,000 applicants just like you.”
She had spent her first year working for the company and was now trying to figure out of whether to leave for another company, find a small one, or change career altogether. “This is not why I got Business Management degree for,” she thought. Now, in summer of 2014, she was facing a very tight job market and had not been able to save a penny for a year. All she knew was that she was miserable.

Nawal just graduated from IIM., Bangalore and joined his father’s new business, which employed 28 semi-skilled workers. After a week, his father, a retired government officer, called him and said, "Nawal, I have had a chance to observe your working with the men and women for the past few days. Although I hate to, I must say something. You are just too nice to people. I know they taught you human relations stuff at the IIM., but it just does not work here. I remember when the Hawthorne studies were first reported, everyone in the academic field got excited about them. But, believe me, there is more to managing people than just being nice to them."
Questions
Do you think Nawal's father understood and interpreted the Hawthorne studies correctly?
If you were Nawal what would your reaction be to your father's comments?
What are the four standards of scientists that define their work ethic? Explain each.
Scientists are seen as submitting to four standards that define their work ethic.
First, they adhere to universalism- the belief that there is only one truth and that there is only one way to establish it, the scientific method.
Second, they identify themselves as members of a community of scientists with a common goal and consciousness. This is usually operationalized through their membership in professional, scientific organizations.
Third, they generally possess a strong sense of skepticism. They suspend opinion and will only express one when all data are collected and analyzed through a neutral and objective process under the standards of logic and rationality.
Finally, they are generally disinterested and detached in that they uphold the virtue of neutrality and objectiveness in their research.Further explain each ethic please.
