What are ethical challenges of evaluation?
What will be an ideal response?
The biggest ethical challenge is misinterpretation and misrepresentation of data. This may occur somewhat innocently by both the change agent and client, both of whom may badly wish for the data to show that the engagement made a difference. They may choose to gather or report on only the data that show a change and to ignore the data that show negative results. Issues of anonymity for those that participate in interviews apply at the evaluation data gathering phase, because employees may fear retribution if it is revealed that they do not see significant change, do not support the change effort, or are not doing what is required for the change to succeed.
