Case Study 5 – ETHICAL DILEMMA: POWER OF THE PROFESSOR? (p. 229)

Students will complete a weekly case study paper, which requires that they apply the concepts they are learning from the class textbooks to a hypothetical scenario between fictional employees. In each paper, students will need to demonstrate the ability to apply a thorough understanding of the nature of conflict, conflict management, and negotiation strategies to a fictional case.

Each paper needs to have at least two academic sources (i.e., academic textbooks, peer-reviewed journal articles) beyond the class textbook will be required for each paper. No website citations will be allowed.

Include in your narrative response answers to the following questions:

1. Discuss how Dr. Jaymes is using persuasion to facilitate her goal. What methods or theories are being used?

2. Do you think these methods will be effective? Why or why not?

3. Do you think Dr. Jaymes approach is ethical? Explain.

4. If you were her boss, in other words, the department chair, and you found out what she was doing, what, if anything, would you do and why?

5. If you were a student thinking of taking Dr. Jaymes class and a former student of hers told you about her practices, in what way would this information affect your decision?

6. Consider the Christian worldview approach to this situation. Provide a Biblical scripture that would reinforce or support a preferred behavior to resolving this situation ethically, and describe how it might be applied in this case.
