Case study 3 peer review 2 - Coursework Example

Peer review I would advise Mrs. Shania Jackson to consider the following implications when making her decisions: Ethical The upward mobility of an employee within a company from one position to another also attracts a higher salary. The decision to promote an employee should, therefore, be done ethically so that equity is observed by promoting the most deserving, most qualified candidate. It only makes moral sense to promote the person that will be able to fill in and perform at an optimum level at the new level.

This is because though there may be several employees that perform at an optimum level and therefore candidates for promotion not all have the inclination or capacity for more responsibility and more work. The higher position also puts an employee in a position where they have the ability to influence broader organization decision-making (Robins, 2003). It would make it highly unethical to choose a less deserving person to fill a position just in order to prove that the business is racially inclusive since there are other more effective ways of proving this point.

In fact, that the business already employs peoples of different races is a start.Legal The doctrine of “Equal Opportunity Employment” in law requires that all individual contributors must be made eligible for promotion on an equal basis by their employers so that it serves as recognition and reward for their role as contributors. A promotion is a powerful communication tool of sending the right signals about the values within an organization (R.W.Lippitt, 1958). Making promotions based on race goes against all values whether it favours the majority or minority because the decision will not be on merit.

BiblicalEquity and fairness are highly valued biblical traits. God is just and holy and consistently demands holiness and justice throughout the bible. He also treats all humankind justly and demands the same treatment amongst men even though they are of different races. Joseph was elevated in eight because of his exemplary work as was Daniel (Dan 1:19-20). This was in a context of gentile nations that did not know the God of the Israel/bible. Servant leadership is leadership that portrays godliness through fairness and equity (DSouza, 2004).
