A complaint of sexual harassment by a part-time worker in a hardware business was upheld when the Tribunal found that the employer had failed to take sufficient action in relation to the employee's report of inappropriate behaviour. The alleged sexual harassment included kissing, touching her breasts and leg, persistent requests to have a drink outside work hours despite an ongoing refusal, asking for cuddles, telephoning her at home and making repeated unsolicited sexual remarks. Based on any four ethical theories, explain how these acts constitute unethical behaviours at the workplace

Respuesta :

Answer:

The ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case.

Explanation:

As we know sexual harassment is a violation against an individual's civil rights, the ethical theory of rights is being violated in this case. The part-time worker who is being harassed by another employee is being violated of her right to a safe workplace under the civil rights.

The ethical theory of rights provides that rights designed and formulated by the society and the government should be upheld with commitment and priority. They are the basic human rights that guarantees equal and dignified life for all.

If any unethical behaviors at the workplace such as sexual harassment, abuse, threat, etc, occurs, it is a direct violation to the basic human rights of an individual.
