Jenny is the CEO of a company that has been affected by an economic melt down. She realizes that the only way for her company to remain in business during the period of recession is to cut costs drastically. She believes it would be better if all employees took a 10 percent pay cut instead of laying off 10 percent of the workers. She feels this is the correct decision as it would benefit the company and all the employees. Her approach is primarily influenced by the _____ ethical system.
a. rule-utilitarian
b. libertarian
c. deontological
d. formalist

Respuesta :

Jenny's approach is primarily influenced by the rule utilitarian ethical system.

Explanation:

Let us understand the term "rule-utilitarian ethical system".

  • Utilitarianism is a "normative ethical theory" locus of "right and wrong" solely rely on the "outcomes or the consequences"
  • It takes into account the interests of others by leaving the own interest.

I personally feel what Jenny has done is right and ethical. The organization does not make any difference in terms of money if it lays off 10 employees or cut 10% from all the workers. But she make difference to retain all the employees and share the loss with every other.
