  • Q11 of 2014 ethics paper.
    You are a no-nonsense, honest officer. You have been transferred to a remote district to head a department that is notorious for its inefficiency and callousness. You find that the main cause of the poor state of affairs is the indiscipline of a section of employees. They do not work themselves and also disrupt the working of others. You first warned the troublemakers to mend their ways or else face disciplinary action. When the warning had little effect, you issued a show cause notice to the ringleaders. As a retaliatory measure, these troublemakers instigated a woman employee amongst them to file a complaint of sexual harassment against you with the Women’s Commission.
    The Commission promptly seeks your explanation. The matter is also publicized in the media to embarrass you further. Some of the options to handle this situation could be as follows:
    1. Give your explanation to the Commission and go soft on the disciplinary action.
    2. Ignore the Commission and proceed firmly with the disciplinary action.
    3. Brief your higher-ups, seek directions from them and act accordingly.
    Suggest any other possible option(s). Evaluate all of them and suggest the best course of action, giving your reasons for it.

    Ans.

    this case study is about being stick to his duty or compromise on it because of some false allegation.

    Options available to me are:
    1. Giving explanation to the commission is correct and I will give my explanation as soon as possible as It is my duty to being answerable to this constitutional body. As am innocent so won’t worry about the commission because after the investigation truth will come.
    However I won’t go soft on the disciplinary action because it will strength their moral for similar action in future.
    2. Ignoring the commission will make wrong impression in public as the matter is publicitized and also commission might thing that because of the guild I did not report to the commission hence I won’t choose this option.
    3. Briefing and consulting my seniors on this matter is a good option but I can’t blindly take their advice which is morally incorrect. Ex. What if my senior say to take a transfer to some other place, if did this than tough I will get rid of all these investigation and other thing, this will give a moral boost to the trouble maker as they will do the same next time some other officer will take any action against him. So I won’t choose either this option.

    I will take the following course of actions:
    a. First of all I will report to the women commission and give my explanation, as this is inclined with my duty ethics.
    b. Second I will consult to my seniors, brief them about the issue, take them in confidence and report time periodically so that in near future I did not face any departmental investigations.
    c. Anonymity is the cardinal principle of any civil servant, however because this issue is already in the media, I will brief them about the issue and show my innocence.
    d. I will persuade the women officer to tell the truth, as after investigation the truth will come and it will impact her carrier, her personal life also her image in general public.
    e. I will take the help of the good employees, as they are also suffering from trouble makers negative attitudes towards their duty.
    f. At last I will take strict action towards them so that they do not do this in future and the efficiency of the department improves.


    Please review this case study and tell me how i can reduce the word limit as it is around 300+ words.
