    3 LEVELS OF MORAL DILEMMA
    Knowing the three levels can help one to
    consider the extent, relevance, and
    recipient/s of the decision.

    1. Individual Dilemma
    2. Organizational Dilemma
    3. Structural Dilemma
    INDIVIDUAL DILEMMA
    • This is a personal moral problem, dealt with
    and solved by the same single person.
    • Most moral decisions are based on individual
    dilemmas because every human person has his
    own everyday moral experience and moral
    standards to either follow or disobey.
    • It has the most significant impact on the
    individual so that he alone must make the best
    decision most likely for himself but could also
    be for others.
    • Conflict between 2 standards:
    1. Be good to your friends.
    2. Protect your love ones.
    ORGANIZATIONAL DILEMMA
    • This is a common managerial ethical
    problem that exists and is solved within an
    institution or organization.
    • Moral dilemmas in business, medical, public,
    and private organizations or smaller
    organizations within these are solved in
    consideration of the organization’s moral
    standards found in the philosophy,
    professional ethics, vision-mission, core
    values, and objectives of each organization.
    STRUCTURAL DILEMMA
    • A moral case on a macro level where networks of
    institutions and operative theoretical paradigms are
    massively involved.

    • A “national” or “global” problem on the systematic


    interconnection or web of multi-sectoral organizations and
    instituitions that demands a managerial moral solution.

    • At this level, the opposing organizational ethical standards


    could be:
    1. Provide universal health services
    2. Do not impose a very high tax or contribution
    3. Maintain fair business competition
    4. Continue research
    5. Provide an equal share to all sectors of society
    6. Fully implement laws
    STRUCTURAL DILEMMA
    • As a manager you may want to follow all the
    identified standards but definitely, you have to
    prioritize one or some over the others.

    • The decision on this structural dilemma is very


    complex as the decision depends on how one
    studies the connections of the organization and
    how their ethical standards interplay with each
    other.

    • This is not easily done as it will demand so much


    interdiscourse and careful study of people,
    systems, organizations, and interconnections.
