Question

Lawrence has set a personal goal of being president of LMN Corp. by the time he is 30. He has determined that nothing will stand in the way of his goal. He sees the president of LMN Corp in a meeting with the president of a competing business and overhears them setting up a business that will cause a conflict of interest with the LMN president's role of president. He reports the business relationship to the press anonymously. Upon hearing the news, the board of directors of LMN Corp. has the charges investigated and, discovering they are true, terminates the president and promotes the existing vice president to president and Lawrence to vice president. What individual factor most affected Lawrence's ethical decision?

Answer 1

Personal goals

Step-by-step explanation:

Lawrence's determination to be president makes him to stop at nothing in achieving his personal goals. Causing him to take a decision that might not be ethically correct.

This individual factor is basically the sole reason he decided to rat that information to the press. Call it his drive to achieve his personal goals.
