Identification and analysis of Ethical dilemma:
The given scenario is based on the study of the ethical dilemma which provides the learning
that the there is some issues which is happening in the company due to various reasons like
lack of communication and efficiency in the work and much more. As per the study, Ken is
the employee who worked for the company and their employer provides him project which
needs to accomplish on the selected period which is prepared on the past time. Due to some
reason, the employee called Ken have loos the deadline and fail to launch the system project
on schedule. The employer got tensed and give their reaction to the Ken which is not
tolerable for the employee even employer give their assurance that he can take the one-month
extension in the project submission (Park, 2014). But the employee is careless and he does
not think that this will harm their career and also make a negative impact on the various
aspect like financial crisis and drawback on the successful career. After all that, the Ken faces
the issues and that is why he decides to give resign in the company and then he going for the
bank after some times and he realizes that employer seas its salary account. The Ken does not
serve the probation period and also not properly follow the norms and regulation of the
company that is why the employee faces issues. The Employee faces the financial crisis and
also, he become jobless due to his past mistake and instant taking of wrong decision in the
working place. The Ken take the wrong decision and this is not good for their working career
so he must decide the proper thinking so that he will not face the failure in their professional
career.
On the other hand, the employer is the one who is the most responsible person who should
know each thing happen in the working place so that the company can ready for any disaster
which happens due to the mistake of the employee and employer (Yang, 2012). The lack of
communication is the main reason which creates the issues in the workplace and this has also
become the reason that the employees do not satisfy with the job. The lack of personnel
communication creates the dissatisfaction because the employee feels hesitated to convey
their issues which happen daily. On the other hand, the employees also do not feel good about
their job and they lose their interest in the workplace which affect their working efficiency
and this is the main reason that the employee even left their job. This is also the main reason
that the employee faces the issues on the various types when the employer does not
communicate with the employees on a direct basis. Most of the time, the mediator of the
communication plays a main role play and if he/she is not good and do not convey the exact
3

information which employee is facing that directly give impact on the execution of the
information (Calvasina, et. al., 2015). The inappropriate convey of the information to the
employer do not bring the accurate solution and the employee and employer still face the
issues and the continuity of the issues create the negative outcome which gives impact on
both parties.
This is concluded that both parties face the issues due to there is similar mistake taken by
both parties and do not give their full efforts in the working place which is the main reason
that the employee take wrong decision and employer faces the major financial crisis due to
failure of the project. Apart from this, the employee and employer have faced the various
issues which happen due to both parties make the assumption without any communication
and this is the reason the employee does not convey their working issues. On the other hand,
the lack of time management is also the main reason which creates a disaster in the workplace
and also makes an impact on the good discipline of the workplace. The ken does not prepare
the proper time management in their project which creates the issue that he fails to submit
their project on the decided period. The employer also has the mistake that he does not take
the proper update of the work and also fail to build the proper trust factor in the employees
that he can convey their issue in the initial basis. This is helpful because most of the
employees have the issues due to lack of communication and employer do not feel their
employees comfortable so that resolve the problems on time.

Recommendation:
The issues have already discussed in the above section which makes the negative impact on
each individual and also the organization which reduce the financial condition of the
company and also garb the job from the person who is the defaulter of the issue. The above
mention report is the ethical dilemma of the issues which is properly analyses and identifies
from the various activities which invented in the company. The employer and employee both
have an equal mistake which creates the issue in the company and gives a negative impact on
both parties. So, the employer needs to build proper communication with their employees and
also improvise the understanding in the employees so that they can easily convey their issues
(Calvasina & Calvasina, 2016). The employer should behave ethically in the proper way of
the Australian Computer Society (ACS) so that professionalism also maintain in the working
place so that each person can understand the value of the organizational ethics. The financial
crisis is happened due to these issues which are harmful to the employees and employer so
the employer must communicate with each employee with personally.
On the other hand, the employer should appoint the employee who is efficient and also can
understand the value of the working so that the company properly get the profit. The
employer should be humble and have the ability to satisfy the need of the employees so that
the company maintain a good environment in an eventual way. The employer and employee
both have an equal mistake which creates the issue in the company and gives a negative
impact on both parties. The employer should provide the proper training to each employee so
that the employees get the proper knowledge of the work so that issues cannot happen in the
company. The employees also have the responsibility that they should attend each session of
the training so that they get the knowledge and properly improvise their skills. The employee
has the main responsibility that if they have done any mistake then they should be responsible
for their actions and this is a good habit because this helps resolve the major issues which
happen due to clashes.
Apart from this, the employer must provide the project to the employee who is responsible so
that the risk of the failure can be reduced and also it is helpful to process the task on the
preparation period. The employee also needs to be responsible for their job because if the
person does not give their full effort in the workplace then it will also give a negative impact
on the career line of each individual. The employer should take the proper update of the
5

project daily so that the employee should know about their responsibility and accomplish
their task on the set period (Resnik, 2016). This is also helpful for the employer because they
can get the knowledge of the project process and also helpful to analyses the issues which
invented in the prior basis. On the other hand, the employer should build the trust factor in
the employee so that they can share their issues without any hesitation. The main issues start
when the employee feel hesitated and they do not feel good to communicate their issues so
that employer should feel comfortable their employees to convey their issues in an open way.
