Ethics Case
Project description
At Timmons Manufacturing Company, production workers in the Painting Department are paid on the basis of productivity. The labor time standard for a unit of production is established through periodic time studies conducted by DeVito Management Consultants. In a time study, the actual time required to complete a specific task by a worker is observed. Allowances are then made for preparation time, rest periods, and clean-up time. Don Carmen is one of several veterans in the Painting Department.
Don is informed by DeVito that he will be used in the time study for the painting of a new product. The findings will be the basis for establishing the labor time standard for the next 6 months. During the test, Don deliberately slows his normal work pace in an effort to obtain a labor time standard that will be easy to meet. Because it is a new product, the DeVito representative who conducted the test is unaware that Don did not give the te

The funding and reimbursement aspects of health care delivery are complicated, transaction-oriented, and subject to applicable laws and regulations. The sheer volume of transactions and myriad nuances of patient care make the process of documenting services delivered and payments received even more complex.

Cognitive Dissonance Theory
Last week you examined various types of interpersonal influence—strategies by which other people guide your thoughts and actions so they can meet their goals. This week you will examine intrapersonal persuasion or self-persuasion. Self-persuasion occurs when something you have done causes you to change your attitudes, beliefs, and future behavior. This type of change can be rather impactful—after all, you are doing it to yourself—and as a result, self-persuasion is a very powerful strategy for getting you to think and do new things.
To illustrate how self-persuasion operates, imagine that someone asks you to sign a petition to support higher taxes as a first step toward getting you to vote in favor of a new tax initiative. If like many people, you hold a negative attitude toward paying more taxes, you might resist the first request. However, if the person was able to get you to sign the petition, your behavior of signing the petition would be inconsi
