Employee codes of conduct are crucial. This is because they formally outline the expected standards of behavior in the working environment, allowing organizations to regulate employee conduct and ensure the adoption of ethical behaviors and practices. Tesla has such a code. The company ensures that all employees have a copy of the code. One of the elements captured in the code relates to employees’ drug use of controlled substances at the workplace (Nagele-Piazza, 2018). The company’s code of business Conduct and ethics states, “the use of illegal drugs in the workplace will not be tolerated” (Nagele-Piazza, 2018). This indicates that employees are prohibited from reporting to work under the influence of alcohol or illegal drugs. Despite this, the company’s CEO, Elon Musk, stated that Tesla’s policy allows employees to have a restricted amount of THC (marijuana) in their system during working hours, as long as the level is low enough not to pose a safety threat (Nagele-Piazza,

When a person is hired, one of the first things an organization does is provide an employee with its written human resources policies. Doing this has elicited questions concerning whether giving an employee these policies will give rise to an employment contract between the employee and the organization. The answer to these questions is that an employer’s written HR policies can be construed as an employment contract, especially when they are poorly drafted (Stone et al., 2019). HR policies generally contain rules and regulations governing how employees should operate within the workplace (Stone et al., 2019). These policies are often contained in employee handbooks. Organizations should refrain from making legally binding promises in their HR policies (Stone et al., 2019). Furthermore, failure to include disclaimers indicating that the policies are guidelines rather than offers to contract or contracts will give rise to an implied contractual relationship between an organization and employee (Stone et al., 2019).

Answer preview

The feminist art movement is perceived as a multi-disciplinary movement. This is because feminist artists are not unified by a single style or medium (Langfeld 3). Feminist artists often combined elements from different movements such as video art, conceptual art, and body art into their artworks (Langfeld 3). This allowed them to present messages about women’s experiences and call for gender equality (Langfeld 3). The end goal of doing this was to generate conversations between art viewers and artworks via the inclusion of a female perspective in the artworks (Langfeld 5). Feminist artists believed art should not solely be an object for aesthetic admiration. Instead, it should prompt viewers to inquire about the existing political and social atmosphere (Langfeld 5). By doing this, the hope was that these inquiries would prompt people to change society and create gender equality.

Constitutional Controversy on Abortion

Make sure that you use information from your webtext (and properly cite it) in order to answer the prompt of your choice. Remember, your personal ideology and/or opinions are not relevant to your essay. The point of this assignment is to show me what you have learned, and that you can apply what you have learned to current events. The Supreme Court recently overturned precedent regarding abortion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization (2022). More information on this case can be found here: https://www.oyez.org/cases/2021/19-1392

Explain why there is a CONSTITUTIONAL controversy over whether or not women have the right to have an abortion. How do supporters believe the Constitution protects the right to an abortion? Be specific. On the other hand, what argument is used by individuals and groups who argue that there is no Constitutional basis for the protection of abortion access? Each of these assignments should be written in essay format. These assignments should be at least 800 words each. You should rely on the material in the textbook to answer these prompts. If you write an essay that contains your opinion and does not rely MOSTLY on course material, your grade will be substantially negatively affected.

On the other hand, one of the arguments presented by individuals to argue that there is no Constitutional basis for the protection of abortion access was based on a theory of liberty. Although the Fourteenth Amendment protects citizens’ privacy, abortion is not in the same classification. It heightens the scrutiny of abortion rights under the Due Process Clause of the amendment. Another argument is that for abortion to be deemed a Constitutional right, it must fall either on the rights guaranteed by the first eight amendments or deeply rooted in history. Also, it must be vital to the State’s ordered liberty. However, the interpretation of liberty in the question of liberty rights contradicts the court’s ardent views on liberty. The third argument to claim no constitutional basis for the protection of abortion access is that it is not part of a broader right supported by other precedents. Abortion rights are not justifiable as a component of other precedents since they challenge the concept of potential life. The court made an error in Roe v.

The retail e-commerce industry is growing at an incredible pace. Spurred by the success of organizations such as Amazon and customers’ changing needs and preferences, organizations in the retail industry are changing their business models to remain viable within their markets (Industry Insights, 2021). No person would have predicted that the COVID-19 pandemic would infect over 200 million people worldwide when the pandemic started. Most governments around the globe adopted strict public health and safety measures to combat the pandemic (Industry Insights, 2021). Even though the pandemic had numerous, devastating impacts on most industries, primarily due to the decline in consumer spending, the retail e-commerce industry was shielded from most of these effects (Industry Insights, 2021). The pandemic generated immense fear of infection, prompting customers to change their buying behavior. Many people began avoiding shopping malls and purchasing the items they needed from online stores

The Manager’s Changing Work Environment and Ethical Responsibilities

/in , /by

Please read the case “Who’s to Blame for the College Admissions Scandal?” given on Page number 112, Chapter 3– “The Manager’s Changing Work Environment and Ethical Responsibilities” “Management: A Practical Introduction” 10th edition by Angelo Kinicki, & Denise B. Soignet and answer the following questions:

 

 

 

QUESTIONS

Q1. What is the underlying problem in this case from the perspective of federal government, the parents, and the prospective college students?

Q2. Why do you think the parents were willing to play such a significant and risky role in their kid’s college admissions?

Q3. How do you think the general environment, particularly economic, demographic, international and sociocultural forces, fed into the admissions scandal?

Q4. Are the children who were aware of the cheating scheme purely victims in this situation, or should they also be considered unethical? Explain your answer using one of the four approaches to deciding ethical dilemmas.

Q5. Based on what you have learned about Rick Singer, his involvement, and his decision to cooperate in the investigation, where would you place his level of moral development? Explain your answer.

Answer preview

The children who were aware of the cheating scheme are not purely victims. However, they are considered unethical. Applying the moral-rights approach, students waiting to join college are old enough to differentiate between good and bad hence they have a moral responsibility to ensure ethical practices are followed in the college admission process. The approach ensures that those students who deserve admission in exclusive schools are not denied their rights to attend the schools just because someone with money paid to have their slots.

Q5. Based on what you have learned about Rick Singer, his involvement, and his decision to cooperate in the investigation, where would you place his level of moral development?

Human Resource Management

After completion of Assignment one students will be able to understand the following

LO1: To understand the role of human resources within the organization.

LO2: To differentiate between the major functions of Human Resources and their interdependency.

Read the case given and answer the questions:

Fahad and Hamza own SPORTZ, a medium-sized company that manufactures and sells sporting goods and equipment. They are watching a CROSSKATES video about cross-country roller skates in the LOUNGE. Hamza says, “I don’t know. This stuff looks dangerous! What do you think? Remember that bungee-jumping thing we tried?”

Fahad responds, “Mysha was out a long time with that knee problem. She sure is a good sport. Badar said we were lucky not to get sued for that. Do you think employees could sue us if they are hurt on product-test assignments?”

 “Let’s ask Mazen,” Hamza suggests. “That guy you hired as— what did you call him—director of human resources?”

Fahad smiles broadly, “Yep. He sure seems to be busy. He’s pulled together all that paperwork for insurance and retirement that Mysha used to handle and named her compensation and benefits manager.”

“He wants to send Saad and Ahmad to a supervisor’s school for work scheduling, job team assignments, and project management,” Hamza adds. “He started those picnics by the LAGOON for people to talk about work conditions and issues.”

Fahad asks, “Do you think we should let him hire a full-time secretary? I thought Mysha could do that, but Mazen said she has a full plate. Did you tell him to do that employee bulletin board he tacked into the Web site?”

Hamza shakes his head no. “Me neither,” Fahad muses. “Wonder why he did that? Guess we’d better talk to him.”

 

Assignment Questions:                                                                          M.M.15  

  1. Which of the functional HR processes can be identified in Mazen’s area? (4Marks)
  2. Identify the environmental influences important to SPORTZ? (4Marks)
  3. How do its HR functional areas line up with the overall HR process? (3.5Marks)
  4. Does Mazen need to do anything else to set up a strategic HR function? (3.5Marks)   

  7. Answer preview

  8. Human Resources departments’ primary responsibility revolves around developing and implementing administrative procedures to support employees and guarantee successful employee lifecycles and work experiences (Stone et al., 2020). This serves as the ultimate goal of the overall HR process, considering that the administrative procedures developed by HR departments will positively impact the rest of the company (Stone et al., 2020). As alluded to in the first section of the paper, SPORTZ’s HR director, Mazen, has implemented several HR functional processes. These include benefits administration, providing employees with career growth and development, employee selection and hiring, and employee relations. By implementing these processes, the company’s HR functional areas are aligned with the overall HR process, considering the strategies used to implement these processes will not only support employees but also guarantee successful employee lifecycles and work experiences (

Goal: To analyze and apply critical thinking skills in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of psychopharmacological agents for patient treatment and health promotion while applying evidence-based research.

Chapter 8, Case 2 Fiona is a 29-year-old woman who works in a medical factory making medical equipment. She lives with her husband and in-laws. Over the last week, she has been more isolative, saying strange things to her husband, and not sleeping due to unidentified fearfulness. The only stressor that her husband can identify is that they started talking about having children. Fiona refuses to do her ADLs, eats very little, and appears intermittently in a trancelike state. The family was becoming more and more concerned and attempted to get Fiona to see their family doctor, but she was refusing. Finally, police were called due to worsening regressed behavior and Fiona was brought to the local emergency department (ED) for evaluation. The ED physician examined her and reported after labs and neuroimaging that she was medically stable. Although the patient reported no history of psychiatric illness, she did report that her maternal grandmother was in a state hospital for most of her life. The physician recommended psychiatric hospitalization for new onset of a psychotic illness.

The most recommended non-pharmacological approach for treating schizophrenia is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It effectively modifies the patient’s beliefs and behaviors, leading to negative emotions (Laws et al., 2018). The model mainly has two parts, including a cognitive component and a behavioral component. The cognitive component focuses on helping a person to change their thinking about the situation. On the other hand, the behavioral component delves into helping the patient on changing her reactions. One risk associated with CBT is poor patient adherence. The patient is less likely to adhere to treatment, especially when a therapist does not conduct a thorough follow-up. One benefit of this approach is the cost-effective approach to treating patients with psychotic disorders. However, it is a costly treatment approach compared to a pharmacological approach. For instance, haloperidol costs from US $22.20 to $US 30.27 in 4 weeks of treatment. Another benefit of CBT is that it helps in improving the patient’s psychological functioning and thinking patterns.

Upon collecting the data, these experts share it with respective stakeholders to brainstorm and deliberate additional steps to implement to ensure drug efficacy. Particularly in instances where the patients have to provide in-person disclosures about the drugs’ effects, to an extent, such practices leave them psychologically tortured and their confidential information exposed. Therefore, experts should identify how to enhance ethics in public health surveillance practices to safeguard the health and well-being of all patients.
