Answer the following questions:

• What are other ethical dilemmas in the at-will doctrine?
• Which argument is credible: that of the doctrine’s critics or its supporters?
• What limitations other than those outlined in the textbook should be imposed on the doctrine to make it more ethical and, therefore, fairer?

• Review the grading rubric, which can be accessed on the Materialslink for each week.
• Be sure to follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.

Assignment 2: Ethics of Motivation Strategies

Read the Focus on Ethics: Ethics of Motivation and Strategies in Chapter 9 of Industrial/Organizational Psychology.

Then, write a 2-4-page paper AND select one of the two assignment options to accompany your paper:

• Develop a 5-7 slide PowerPoint presentation that corresponds to your paper

Answer the following questions:

• Although there were some legal ramifications for what Hooters did, were the actions toward the waitresses also unethical?
• Were the waitresses lied to? If so, is lying to employees unethical?
• What about the motivating strategy of allowing employees to rip the shirts of other employees off? Is humiliating employees ethical?
• How is it ethical to promise money or other compensation to students for studying hard? What if the losing students actually studied harder than the winner, but the winner only did well because he/she happened to be brighter? How would giving that student the money be fair to the students who studied harder?
• The motivation techniques had the desired results by increasing sales or decreasing the use of paper, but how does that outweigh any negative consequences of such motivators?
