...grievances; (d) No action taken when required; (e) Personal frustrations and misunderstandings. There could be many other different reasons for indiscipline depending upon individual differences. 1.4 Corrective and Punitive action Since any case of indiscipline is basically a behavioural problem, it is necessary that before taking any punitive action, all efforts should be made to improve the behaviour of the employee by correcting him through education, counselling, persuasion and coutioning. However, if all the efforts to improve the employee fail, the Supervisor/Man-ager should never hesitate to reprimand the employee and, if the misconduct is serious or has been repeated, to report the matter to the superiors for appropriate disciplinary action.

...Part 1 Explore Freedom of Exploration and Ethical Responsibility Exploring the website http://www.chem.vt.edu/chem-ed/ethics/ I read several articles including Ethics in Science which was adapted from lectures given by Professor Henry Bauer in the Chemistry Department at Virginia Tech. This essay discusses scientific misconduct and a more dependable model than the scientific method. It opens with many examples of misconduct from major universities to Nobel Prize winners. It is eye-opening to see how prevalent scientific misconduct has become and makes one ponder just what are the pros and cons of such misconduct. Figure 1 | Bauer states that the key to understanding the reliability or lack thereof science is the realization that science is done by human beings. He believes that how these scientists interact with one another is crucial. He believes that scientific knowledge is accumulated through a “knowledge filter” as in figure 1. The top where it is most broad contains any all human traits. Rather competent or not, lazy or hard-working, careful or sloppy, everything is thrown in the original mix. Most of the nonsense gets filtered out through undergraduate and graduate studies in science.The next filter we must ask “What will others think?” There is always someone reviewing one’s work who will determine worthiness for publication, grants, graduation, promotions or employment. As the filtering process continues, most of the dishonesty is removed before reaching primary literature...

...Unethical Business Research Conduct The foundation of any research is trust. Professionals, organizations, and the public must be able to trust that research is being reported honestly, accurately, and free from bias. Questionable research misconduct can include poor data management, the failure to share data, questionable data selection methods, inadequate supervision of those conducting the research, and fiscal mismanagement ("Research Misconduct", 2012). Recently a large case of research fraud was brought against Dr. Kipak K. Das by the University of Connecticut. The allegations of research fraud involve 26 articles published in 11 different journals claiming the health benefits of drinking red wine. According to the article, “University Suspects Fraud by a Researcher Who Studied Red Wine”, the university received anonymous allegations in January 2009 about irregularities in Dr. Das’ research. An investigation into Das’ research articles revealed 145 instances of fabrication and falsification of data (Wade, 2012). Allegations received by the university reference lab members manipulating figures, often at the request of Dr. Das, and digitally manipulating the experiments (western-blot images) done in the studies. The fabrication and falsification of the research data will have a negative impact on Dr. Das’ reputation as a respectable doctor, could tarnish the name of the University of Connecticut, could harm those that rely upon this research data, and could also discredit...

...In 2012, Annie Dookhan, was a lab technician at the crime lab. Dookhan was arrested in Boston with charges of obstruction of justice and Perjury. It is said that Dookhan was responsible for testing substances brought in by police that appeared to be an illegal substance. It was noted that her work performance was above the norm by over 50% of her other coworkers. Dookhan was called Superwoman due to her testing over 500 samples in a month while the norm is 150 a month. This raised concern which started an internal investigation. During their investigation, it was determined that Dookhan had tested approximately 60,000 drug evidence samples during her employment in the lab. So far, over 1,400 samples were found to be tainted. After her arrest,...

...Business Research Ethics Bobbie Stolze RES/351 October 15th, 2012 James Malachowski Business Research Ethics Today there are many cases of unethical business research that usually result in entire firms as well as individuals that are convicted and fined in the court of law. Unethical business research comes in many forms some of these forms are inappropriate questionnaires, research fraud, failure to maintain participant’s privacy, and even skewing research results. The following information is regarding scientific research fraud involving William McBride. McBride was an obstetrician who was found guilty of 24 counts of scientific fraud that ended up costing between five and seven million dollars after all was said and done. In 1980 McBride had announced that thalidomide was dangerous to women who are pregnant. He claimed that the drug would cause deformities of the limbs in mother’s unborn children. Several years later McBride had claimed that he completed research on another drug called Debendox, which is a drug used for treating morning sickness for pregnant women. McBride published this research and claimed that he has tested the drug on eight rabbits, and three of the rabbits ended up developing deformities because of the drug Debendox. Shortly following McBride’s research, the manufacturer of Debendox was forced to take the drug off the market even though there were only a few supporters of his research claim. It was later discovered by Phil Vardy was a scientist...

...The Dookhan case is better explained as a “bad apple” because Dookhan showed the characteristics of a bad apple that Thompson, in his article, “Beyond Bad Apples”, explains as careless, incompetent, and malicious. Dookhan began to show her carelessness for the cases she forged signatures on the drug testing paperwork. This shows that Dookhan did not care to allow her superiors to peer review her findings and that she would try to find the easy way out of testing the drug samples. By forging the signatures, she would be able to continue on to the next cases rather than wait for someone to review her results since it would hold her back from moving on with her work. It also shows that she did not care enough to want to find the true results of...
