How should a manager design ethical dilemmas for an interview process with a new employee?
What will be an ideal response?
A manager seeking to pose ethical dilemmas to a potential employee should try to
relate the scenarios to real-life ethical dilemmas that happen in the workplace,
specifically those related to the work at hand, if possible. Asking an employee about
potential ethical dilemmas that might have happened at previous places of employment can be instructive. Also helpful is asking about ethical dilemmas based on actual occurrences experienced by current employees as the prospective company. This will help target the interview toward behaviors that are likely to arise should the candidate be accepted. Managers should make all questions and hypothetical scenarios work-related.
