This assignment involves a paper of approximately 12 to 15 pages, in which you analyze a real ethical dilemma related to public service administration ethics. This may be either a dilemma that you have experienced personally, or one confronted by someone whom you know who works in government or the nonprofit arena. If the latter, then you will need to conduct at least one thorough interview with the person involved. In either case you may change names and incidental facts to protect the identities of persons or organizations. The paper should include the following:
Brief description of the dilemma, including pertinent factual background information.
Identification of all conceivable alternatives for resolving the dilemma.
Probable positive and negative consequences of each alternative.
d. Selection of one alternative on the basis of an explicit ethical principle, or set of principles, and the probable consequences.
Justification for adopting that particular principle.
Describe the characteristics of the organization involved that would encourage or impede the implementation of your chosen alternative.
g. Discuss the changes that would be necessary to make the organization more supportive of this alternative.
h. Describe a management strategy to accomplish these changes.
