couple of things to do here for the paragraph:
1. Get the facts
2. Identify stakeholders and their positions.
this is paragraph.
A coworker calls you at 9 a.m. at work and asks for a favor. He is having trouble this morning and will be an hour late for work. He explains that he has already been late for work twice this month and that a third time will cost him four hours of pay. He asks you to stop by his cubicle, turn his computer on, and place some papers on his desk so that it appears that he is "in." You have worked on some small projects with this coworker and gone to lunch together. He seems nice enough and does his share of the work, but you are not sure what you tell him. What would you do?
Please repost with your response to this assignment; then someone here will be able to give you feedback.
=)
the fact is my co-worker will be late, and i am helping him doing something wrong.
stakeholder- i am helping him for coming late. he should be punished
Am I right for this?
You need to reread the situation. After he asks you to "cover" for him, what would you do? What would you say to him?
??
Here is the situation as I see it. Your coworker wants to steal from the company, and for you to help him. ISn't that the situation?
Remember: Ethics is understanding right from wrong, and doing right.
I wasn't sure what a stakeholder was -- so I checked it out --
"Many researchers, business schools and managers have recognized this broader constituency, and in their planning and operations have replaced the word "stockholder" with "stakeholder," meaning to include employees, customers, suppliers and the wider community."

Using that definition, the stakeholders would include you, other co-workers, the boss, and the customers who might be trying to do business with your co-worker.
Yes, you are on the right track with identifying the facts and stakeholders in the paragraph.
1. Facts:
- Your coworker will be an hour late for work.
- He has already been late twice this month and will face a penalty of four hours of pay if late again.
- He asks you to cover for him by turning on his computer and placing some papers on his desk to make it appear that he is present.
2. Stakeholders:
- You: You are directly involved in this situation as your coworker is asking for your help.
- Your coworker: He is the one facing the penalty for being late and is seeking your assistance to avoid this.
- Other coworkers: They may be affected by your coworker's actions, as his absence might impact their work or create a burden for them.
- Employer/Management: They are responsible for enforcing company policies and ensuring that employees are punctual and responsible.
- Customers: If your coworker's absence has an impact on the services provided to customers, they may be affected as well.
As for what you should do, it is important to consider the ethical implications and potential consequences of covering for your coworker. Engaging in dishonesty or helping someone avoid the consequences of their actions may have negative impacts on your own integrity, work relationship, and the overall trust within the workplace. Ultimately, the decision is up to you and your personal values.
