  3. Formal definition of ethics: Ethics is a set of values and rules that define right and wrong conduct.

  4. 5 Principles • BENEFICENCE: Acting in a manner that promotes the growth and well being of the client. • AUTONOMY: Acting in a manner that respects the client’s freedom of choice. • NONMALEFICENCE: Acting in a manner that does not cause harm to clients or prevents harm to clients. • JUSTICE: Treating clients fairly • FIDELITY: Keeping promises or commitments to clients, colleagues, and agencies, both stated and implied.

  5. Ethical Models • There are three ethical models: the utilitarian model, the moral rights model, and the justice model. • These can be used to determine whether a decision or a behavior is ethical.

  6. Utilitarian Model • Primary goal in this model is for the employee’s behavior to provide the greatest good for the greatest number of people. • When making ethical decisions based on this model, the employee should focus on the needs of the stakeholders. • customers, suppliers, employees, shareholders, and the community • According to this model, the employee should not have interests that conflict with the goals of the organization.

  7. Moral Rights Model • The primary goal of this model is to keep an employee’s behavior consistent with the fundamental rights and privileges of individuals and groups. • This includes such rights as the right to privacy (use of personal information), the right to a safe and healthy workplace, and the right to freedom of speech (whistle-blowing).

  8. Justice Model • The primary goal of this model is to ensure costs and benefits are fairly distributed among individuals and groups. • This model is based on three principals: • The distributive justice principle • people should not be treated differently based on differences • The fairness principle • employees should follow the rules of the organization if they are fair and employees get benefits from the company. • The natural duty principle • helping others in need (without excessive personal loss) • one should not harm or injure another • one should follow the rules of just institutions
