Assignment 2: LASA—Identifying Issues Of Ethics And Employee
Fear/Uncertainty
In this assignment, you will build upon your response to the
Required Assignment (RA) in Module 4. You will continue your case study of your
chosen organization.
Scenario: Now that you have defined the problem, use
behavioral theory constructs to explore how organizational teams might affect
the change effort.
Instructions:
Discuss factors of diversity including various types of
diversity likely to be encountered in the organization.
Identify actual ethical perspectives/approaches within the
organization. (Note: Do not identify that something is simply ethical or
unethical.)
Explain how factors such as offshoring and outsourcing may
lead to employee fears and uncertainty.
Discuss how all the previous three items (i.e., diversity,
ethics, and offshoring/outsourcing) may lead to conflict individually and in
teams. Include the specific types of conflict that may be present. How might
even individual conflict affect a team’s performance? Is there a systemic
component to this consideration, and if so, how?
Recommend a manner to minimize, or perhaps alleviate, such
fears and uncertainty.
Write an 8–10-page, well-argued case paper in Word format.
Be sure to include a summary section. Note: The title page, references, and
appendices are not included in the page count.
Apply APA standards to citation of sources. The course book,
the trade journal(s) noting the problem, as well as peer-reviewed journal
articles are to be used to support your position and theoretical constructs.
General Internet sources will not be accepted as references. Click here to

Write your responses in a clear, concise, and organized
manner; demonstrate ethical scholarship in accurate representation and
attribution of sources; display accurate spelling, grammar, and punctuation per
APA (6th edition) standards.
