One way of broaching the topic of ethics in professional practice is to focus on particular ethical dilemmas that arise in the research or practice that surrounds management activities themselves. For example, well-known ethical dilemmas exist in the field of human resources, and other dilemmas surround the handling of financial transactions and decisions.

To prepare for this Discussion, review the weeks Learning Resources, and consider the unique ethical challenges for different target populations when conducting doctoral research. Consider your own Doctoral Problem Statement that you drafted at the end of the previous course (DDBA 8161) and the target populations that would be reviewed by an institutional review board (IRB). For example, a research study that focuses on government employees must take into consideration issues such as security clearances, access to data, and restrictions on publication. Be sure to review the organizational access checklist outlined in Box 6.10 on page 239 in Saunders, Lewis, and Thornhill (2015).

By Day 4

Post an analysis of ethical considerations for target populations within the doctoral research process. Your analysis should include the following:

  • Briefly describe a target population within your Doctoral Study, including any relevant factors that could be scrutinized by an IRB committee.
  • Identify specific ethical considerations for the target population within your Doctoral Study, including access, data, or publication restrictions, for example.
  • Explain how this population and its ethical considerations impact both the process and the overall value of your doctoral research study.

Be sure to support your work with a minimum of two specific citations from this weeks Learning Resources and at least one additional scholarly source.

Refer to the Week 1 Discussion 2 Rubric for specific grading elements and criteria. Your Instructor will use this rubric to assess your work.

Read a selection of your colleagues postings.

By Day 6

Respond to two or more of your colleagues postings in one or more of the following ways:

  • Compare your perspective with that of your colleague on how values underlying the ethical process are empowering or constraining in research.
  • Pose a follow-up question to your colleague for further discussion.
  • Link your colleagues posting to other colleagues postings, or to other course materials and concepts, where appropriate and relevant.

Please note that, for each response, you must include a minimum of one appropriately cited scholarly reference.

Return to this Discussion in a few days to read the responses to your initial posting. Note what insights you gained as a result of reading the comments your colleagues made.
