Ethics on the Job
Board Game
©2005
2-6 players • Grades 8 and up
|
Ethics on the Job is a board game
specifically designed to help students learn important information and
concepts about ethical behavior in the workplace. Players learn standards
for ethical behavior and how to discriminate ethical from unethical
behavior. Ethical situations covered include relations with employers,
co-workers, customers, and suppliers. Playing the game demonstrates to the
students that unethical behavior can hurt other employees, the company,
and themselves.

In the game, players are in the role of
company presidents. They are responsible for the success of the company.
Throughout the game, problems are brought to them that involve the
behavior of their employees. Players must decide (1) whether the
fictitious employee’s behavior was ethical or unethical, and (2) what
punishment to give (if the behavior was unethical). The situations are
designed so that they are not easy to decide. Players see that unethical
employees prevent them from winning the game, and they take steps to move
these employees out of their companies.
