5B George
George is contracted by a Web design consultancy company to interview their staff to ascertain their current knowledge. The aim of the study is to inform the company about the type of training courses they need to implement. The aim of the study, therefore, is to highlight areas of overall weakness as opposed to individual shortcomings. Despite this, the type of data collected will be able to identify individual weaknesses. George has been advised that individual’s information gathered from interviewees is to remain private. Following the study. A senior Vice President of the company, Gagan approaches George and asks: “Who did well in this study?” How should George respond to this question?
What professional ethical dilemmas are George and Gagan dealing with here? (e.g. Should we allow or sanction George’s behaviour? Is there a public interest question raised by this scenario? What actions do everyone involved need to take to ensure that this kind of situation does not occur again?)
