Name & Number:
Step Process/Step Issues/Results
Step 1: Analyze - The
Consequences
As per the case study, the statistical database programmer named Jaspreet is facing the difficulties in
submitting the work on time where he gets the help from co-workers and become successful in completing
the assignment or work. On another side, Jaspreet manager Araina do not focus on employee satisfaction
and forces them to complete and submit their work on time from where the employee can lose the faith
on her. Jaspreet uses someone else coding, if the company founds him they can put the legal action against
him which will be very risky and difficulty for him to move forward in his professional career. In this entire
situation, Jaspreet can face the ACS conducting penalties as he shows someone else as work as his own
which is absolutely illegal to be performed (Anwar, Gill and Beydoun, 2018).
Step 2: Analyze - The
Actions
According to the case study, if Jaspreet founds guilty of showing someone else work of his own can create
a huge problem for him where the company can file a case against him. The ACS term simple refers as
Australian Computer Sysytem where the people have to consider its ethics and values which denotes
honesty, competence, the primacy of the public interest, improvement of quality of life, enhancement of
professional development and professionalism. Understanding these concepts and implementing the
ethics by the Jaspreet can save himself by not getting lose his job. If he found guilty then he has to face
many difficulties like penalties as can be fires from the company, lose their license and lose of reputation.
Step 3: Make A Decision In the case study, it has been stated that Jaspreet has done unethical thing at their company due to work
pressure he felt from the manager. By learning from this incident, Jaspreet has to make sure that this
incident must not repeat again and if someone do this then he or she can be fired from the company and
legal action also can be taken by the company. Thus, each employee should focus on the ethics of ACS and
perform at workplace (Nwosu, John, Izang and Akorede, 2018).
