Introduction
Ethics is one of the important aspects that one individual should have in professional life. In professional fields, an ethical dilemma is one of the unavoidable factors. In this case study, something relevant to ethical issues has been witnessed. A software designing company is working for FAA, and one of the employees has faced issues against ethical consideration. The project will mainly focus on ethical issues that usually arise in a professional field. The report is going to find ethical issues faced by different employees and how the issues can be mitigated. In the following part, ethical issues will be identified and the effects of ethical dilemma will be analyzed as well.
Identify the ethical issues
The ethical issues are mainly faced by Wayne Davidson. In this case study, it is seen that the software designed by the Occidental Engineering Company was faulty. In this aspect, the project manager was willing to deliver the software with the bugs. The employee Wayne Davidson was reluctant to deliver the software in such kind of condition. Though he had to sign the papers of submitting the software because the project manager asked him to do so. The fault was identified and rectified later when FAA asked for a modification. Nobody apart from the team was aware of the incident that happened during the initial period of software designing. After completing the project Wayne Davidson retired from the post and decided to write an autobiography including the ethical dilemmas. The government has provided new policies under which breach of contract is treated strictly. Wayne Davidson faced ethical issues due to the conflict between whether to save all employees’ jobs or deliver faulty software. On the other hand, Deborah Was willing to deliver the faulty software because she wanted to avoid any kind of issues that might arise due to not meeting the deadline. Deborah was bound to deliver the best quality job without any faults but in this context, she was not willing to do so. This is a breach of ethics in the professional field. Deborah was saying that the team will fix the issues during modification and nobody will know about the bug. The intention was good but the step that was chosen by her was against the ethical standards of a business.
