The case of the ghostwriter
Whether the situation presents an ethical dilemma.
As the VP of the company and the person in charge of the hiring process, I think that the situation presents an ethical dilemma since there is a conflict between hiring a person who engages in unethical behaviour and not hiring a highly qualified staff who can be a good fit for the organization. In considering either of the hiring outcomes, both outcomes appear wrong, and hence the dilemma. Ghostwriting for academic students is often considered unethical behavior because it amounts to plagiarism or the use of unoriginal content, which misrepresents the actual capabilities of a student. From an academic perspective, ghostwriting may be considered unethical. However, some individuals and companies support ghostwriting on the grounds that it is simple and builds brand awareness faster compared to internal quarterly publications.
Options available for the situation and ethical views
Since the company under consideration requires a technical writing team, it appears that the originality and authenticity of the publications must be paramount to achieve the vision of the company. My option towards the hiring situation entails not hiring the highly qualified applicant and evaluating the other two to identify the better candidate while ensuring that he or she abides by the ethical duty or obligations of becoming a professional writer. The ethical views to consider in the situation under consideration include justice and moral rights. Under justice, I will consider whether it is ethical to use my power to hire an individual who in the past has been culpable of unethical behavior. Also, would it be fair to deny other applicants whose character reflects more ethical principles the chance to work with the company? Past experiences reflect individual character and capabilities. Therefore, in considering moral rights, I will identify whether the applicant’s ghostwriting activities reflected integrity on his or her part.
The best course of action
It would reflect negatively on me to employ an applicant who has engaged in unethical ghostwriting since such acts do not reflect integrity and professionalism in the writer’s profession. The applicants may decide to share confidential data relating to the company for the right price, just as simply as he or she is willing to ghostwrite PhD dissertations. The best course of action for the situation under consideration would be to consider the image of the firm and the long-term vision and interest of the firm. Therefore, the person and the organization are the factors likely to influence ethical decision making. Hiring an applicant with a past of unethical practice may tarnish the brand image. Also, it would be best for the organization’s success to hire an applicant with integrity and mold them into the best fit of the organization.
Corporate social responsibility’s influence on decision-making
Under corporate social responsibility (CSR), every business has a role to play in society. The opposing perspectives of CSR include the economic and the social perspectives. I think that CSR will influence my decision making when considering stakeholders such as the investors, the public and the management of the firm. Investors and the public are likely to react negatively towards the decision to employ an applicant with a history of unethical practice. Also, the investors and public will lose faith in a board of management that support the hiring of applicants with unethical backgrounds. Since the economic perspective may not be enough to make the ethical decision, I will rely on the social perspective, which stipulates that based on a social perspective, the best decision would be to avoid hiring the ghostwriter. Issues on ethics and a fair hiring process are gradually influencing the relationship that stakeholders such as customers and investors have with firms. Therefore, the social perspective is best considered as the basis for decision-making for the ghostwriter case.
Impact of ethical lens inventory on decision-making
Ethical lens inventory improves one’s understanding of the values that guide the decision-making process. The major ethical perspectives that influence my decision-making process include autonomy and rationality (rights and responsibilities lens) and equality and sensibility (reputation lens). Under the rights and responsibilities lens, my actions and decision to decline to hire the ghostwriter are aligned with universal principles. In this case, ghostwriting for an academic student is considered universally unethical, hence a lack of integrity. Moreover, a firm should not hire applicants without integrity; therefore, based on the rights and responsibility lens, the decision I make should reflect my honor, principles, trustworthiness and an incorruptible mindset, among other qualities. On the other hand, the reputation lens will further reflect my character as the primary basis for ethical decision-making. My kind, generous and charitable character will help in embracing all applicants as equal and capable of landing the job, based on a candid evaluation of all the necessary factors. Furthermore, such characters will ease my decision-making to hire either of the other two applicants, who will prove beyond all doubt as to the best fit for the firm.
