- 1. Ethical Delimas in Project Management
- 2. • Ethical dilemmas in project management often arise when there's a conflict between professional duties, stakeholder interests, and moral principles. Here are some common ethical dilemmas that project managers might face: • Truth vs. Loyalty • Individual vs. Community • Short-Term vs. Long-Term Gains • Resource Allocation and Fairness • Intellectual Property and Confidentiality Ethical Delimas in Project Management
- 3. Truth vs. Loyalty • Example: A project manager discovers that the project is behind schedule or over budget. • Reporting the truth could lead to stakeholder disappointment, • But hiding it could be considered unethical.
- 4. Individual vs. Community • A decision benefits one stakeholder (like a client) • Harms the broader team or community • (e.g., by causing burnout or overwork).
- 5. Short-Term vs. Long-Term Gains • Rushing to meet a deadline might • Satisfy clients . • But could lead to quality issues and • Reputational harm later.
- 6. • Resource Allocation and Fairness • Example: Allocating more resources to a high-profile project while neglecting smaller ones, even though both are important. • Intellectual Property and Confidentiality • Example: Using proprietary information from a previous employer or partner. • Conflict of Interest • Example: Awarding a contract to a friend’s company, even if it may not be the best option.
- 7. How to Handle Ethical Dilemmas: • Refer to PMI’s Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct (if PMP certified). • Consult mentors or ethical boards when in doubt. • Document decisions to ensure transparency. • Apply ethical decision-making models, such as: • Recognize the dilemma • Evaluate options • Consider stakeholders • Make a principled choice
- 8. Principles of Arbitration • Arbitration is a formal ADR method where a neutral third party (the arbitrator) makes a binding decision to resolve a dispute. The key principles include: • Consent • Arbitration is typically based on an agreement between the parties. • Both parties must agree to submit disputes to arbitration rather than litigation.
- 9. • Neutrality and Impartiality • Arbitrators must be impartial and have no personal interest in the outcome. • They should treat all parties equally and without bias. • Party Autonomy • Parties have the freedom to decide: • Who the arbitrator(s) will be • Which rules/procedures will apply • The location and language of arbitration
- 10. • Confidentiality • Proceedings are private, and outcomes are not typically public. • This protects sensitive business information. • Finality and Binding Nature • Arbitration awards are legally binding and enforceable. • Limited grounds exist for appealing an arbitration award. • Flexibility • Less formal than court proceedings. • Procedures can be tailored to suit the nature of the dispute.
