THREE LEVELS OF MORAL DILEMMA

1. INDIVIDUAL

- Judgment is based on self-chosen principles, and moral reasoning

is based on individual rights and justice.

Example:
The most common ethical dilemma is involved when you are taking
someone to hospital for an emergency treatment by car. The law
states that speeding and running red lights is illegal. However, this
person might die if not treated quickly and they are in your car.
2. ORGANIZATION

-The organizing dilemma is a puzzle posed by the dual necessities of

social organization and member self-interest. Depending on members'
definitions of self, the organizing dilemma may exist between
personal interests and organizational welfare, or between group
interests and organizational well-being.

Ex. Sexually harassing female employees in an organization is an

unethical behavior in the work place

(Andrews, 2014).The essay discusses the ethical dilemmas that the

employees in an organization often
face and what methods do they apply to resolve the ethical dilemma
3. STRUCTURAL
-Finding a satisfactory system of roles and relationships is an
ongoing, universal struggle. Managers rarely face well –defined
problems with clear – cut solutions.Instead, they confront enduring
structural dilemmas, tough trade – offs without easy answers.
Examples of structural dilemmas
1. Differentiation Versus Integration.The tension between allocating
work and coordinating mixed efforts creates a standard dilemma.
The more complex a role structure, the harder it is to focus, tightly
coupled enterprise
With any dilemma, there are basic steps you can take to resolve it:

1. Name the dilemma for yourself.

The first step is to identify the dilemma you face
2. Identify the interests you want to meet
3. Identify the assumptions integrated in the dilemma that keep the
needs from being met

How do you overcome dilemma?

1. Figure out the why. Ask yourself why you want to be seen. ...
2. Set the stage. Decide what you want to be known for and build your
personal brand around this. ...
3. Turn on the spotlight. You need to arm yourself with tools which can
lighten your role as an expert. ...
4. Use the media to shine the light. ...
How to solve an ethical dilemma?
The biggest challenge of ethical dilemma is that it does not offer an
obvious solution that would comply with ethical norms. Throughout the
history of humanity, people always faced ethical dilemmas, and
philosophers aimed and worked to find solutions to the problems.By
far, the following approaches to solve an ethical dilemma were
deduced:

 Refute the paradox (dilemma):

The situation must be carefully analyzed. In some cases, the existence

of the dilemma can be logically refuted.

 Value theory approach:

Choose the alternative that offers the greater good and the lesser evil.

 Find alternative solutions:
In some cases, the problem can be reconsidered, and the new
alternative solutions may arise.

RESPONSIBILITY- FREEDOM-VOLUNTARINESS

Responsibility preserves freedom. Only who is responsible can be

free, while voluntariness is the description of an act that is not
caused by an effect, but by free choice (one can be held responsible
for). Voluntariness is both the cause and the result of freedom.
 Voluntariness and responsibility are important elements of
freedom because:

 Because oluntarism entails taking control of one's actions,

voluntariness is the fundamental aspect of freedom.

 It also implies that the actions you are taking are independent of
the influence of others.

 Until no inappropriate actions are performed to misuse freedom,

voluntarism is an important component of freedom.
 The ability of an individual to complete his or her work, as
well as the ability to assist others, is referred to as
responsibility.

 It also reflects your respect for yourself and others. A person

who is responsible is unconstrained.

 As a result, until freedom is not misused, voluntariness and

responsibility are key aspects of it.
