Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The duty approach to ethical reasoning suggests that one should avoid unethical behavior regardless of the consequences. It focuses on the individual's obligation to act ethically and fulfill their duties and responsibilities, rather than on the outcome or consequences of their actions. Therefore, Dion should prioritize avoiding unethical behavior in conflicts that occur on the job, even if it may not result in the greatest good for the most people or may not align with his employer's interests.
