[SOLVED] Ethics Case Analysis

I need help with a Business question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

PART I: Read about Ethical Dilemmas

Ethical dilemmas in the workplace are common. Ethical dilemmas are found in all aspects of an organization, especially concerning employment practices, equal employment opportunity, environmental policy, and corruption. For example, consider the following workplace situation. You are working in teams at your organization. Your team members do not contribute equally to the final product. Should those employees who have pulled their weight on the project inform the supervisor that some team members did not do their fair share of the work? What are the benefits of informing your supervisor? What are the risks? You may believe that telling your supervisor could lead to coworker mistrust and resentment. However, you also believe it is not fair if all employees are believed to have contributed equally to the report. Do you speak up or keep quiet and have all employees receive praise? How would you resolve this dilemma to your satisfaction? Please click on the introduction link and read more about ethical dilemmas:
