The workplace brings together people with different moral value systems and personal experiences that shape their views of right and wrong. The well-being of individuals and organizations is vulnerable to the ethical standards upheld or violated by those with access to sensitive information. Mooradian (senior solutions analyst, Konica Minolta) provides a solid framework of professional ethics that addresses a variety of records and information management issues, including confidentiality, conflicts of interest, intellectual property, privacy, and whistle-blowing. Case studies range from in-house employee performance reviews to the global debate about the actions of Edward Snowden. Sean Valentine's Organizational Ethics and Stakeholder Well-Being in the Business Environment is a more general look at ethical leadership, decision-making, and the social responsibility of organizations.
VERDICT Managers, records management staff, and personnel evaluation committees will find this book of value when creating policies and procedures and developing training programs for fair and responsible information management.—Betty J. Glass, emerita, Univ. of Nevada Lib., Reno
