    This case study presents a job offer from Jekyll Corporation, which promotes itself as fair and sustainable. The candidate is asked to provide a starting salary amount to the HR manager Gabriel. They would provide a higher desired salary but a lower minimum acceptable salary to allow flexibility in negotiations. Taking a job at Hyde Associates is criticized for unethical practices harming people and the environment, so the candidate would not consider it regardless of salary. People generally prefer to support companies that practice corporate social responsibility and would accept lower pay to work for an ethical employer like Jekyll Corporation.

    ASSIGNMENT # 1

    Name. Farzeen Ayoub


    Department. Business administration
    Subject. Organizations behavior
    Roll No. B/B.Adm-18085
    Submitted to. Ma’am.
    Date. 28 th March 2021
    Summary:

    In this case study, You have to assume that you have been offered a job a
    company named “ Jekyll and Hyde Corporations” and the job is in your
    chosen career path, and the job would be started after the 2 weeks of your
    graduation. The company is well positioned and they are appealing to you
    to make good use of your training, and you have to meet your superior who
    guide you about your position in the company and about the reputation of
    the company. The company promotes it’s self as a fair-trade and
    sustainable organization. A human resource manager named Gabriel
    Utterson called you to discuss about the job description, but one thing was
    not mentioned which is your starting salary. The company really wants to
    hire you, Gabriel gives you time and wanted you to think about this and call
    you back tomorrow. So you have to take the decision about, what to do with
    the offer of the Jekyll corporation’s.

    Question /Answer

    Q) What starting salary will you give Gabriel? What salary


    represents the minimum offer you would accept? If these two
    numbers are different, why? Does giving Gabriel a different
    number than your “internal” number violate Jekyll
    Corporation’s transparent culture? Why or why not?

    A). The starting salary I would give Gabriel would be the amount I feel I
    am worth as an employee.  The salary that represents the minimum offer I would
    be willing to accept would be a predetermined amount I would need to meet my
    needs determined by my budget, such as bills etcetera. The two numbers are
    different to allow flexibility for situations such as this.  The job is exactly what is
    wanted yet the company might not have the start-up capital to pay as much as I
    would like up front.  As long as there was room for growth within the company
    and increase potential such as future pay raises after a probation period that
    could be made in writing, the initial sacrifice of income might be worth it.Giving
    Gabriel a different number than the “internal” number would not violate the
    Jekyll Corporation’s transparent culture any more than them not stating the limit
    up front that they can afford to offer themselves.  If both parties agree upon a
    certain salary, then it is obviously a number that both parties feel comfortable
    settling for.
     
    Q) Assume you’ve received another offer, this one from Hyde
    Associates. Like the Jekyll job, this position is on your chosen
    career path and in the consumer products industry. Assume,
    however, that you’ve read in the news that “Hyde Associates has
    been criticized for unsustainable manufacturing practices that
    may be harmful to the environment. It has further been
    criticized for unfair trade practices and for employing underage
    children. Would that change whether you’d be willing to take the
    job? Why or why not?
    A) Upon receiving another offer from Hyde I would start by weighing the pros and
    cons of both positions at the different companies.  However, upon discovering the
    unethical practices that the Hyde Company participates in I feel it wouldn’t be a
    hard decision to make.  At this point after the research I would no longer consider
    them as a viable option for employment. It does not mention a salary offer by the
    Hyde Associates within the question but I assume that since it is an ethical
    dilemma situation they would be offering more.  I can see how some people at
    this point would at least question whether they should take this offer, however, I
    value my sleep at night.  I could not in good conscious take a job at a place which
    held such opposite values as my own.  Granted, no place is perfect and you have
    to pick and choose your battles or you would probably be better off starting your
    own company since you would not agree with your employer always.  However, in
    this situation it seems that their principles and values are at odds with your own,
    so it is best not to get in bed with the enemy from the beginning
    Q) These scenarios are based on studies of corporate social
    responsibility (CSR) practices that show consumers generally
    charge a kind of rent to companies that do not practice CSR. In
    other words, they generally expect a substantial discount in
    order to buy a product from Hyde rather than from Jekyll. For
    example, if Jekyll and Hyde sold coffee, 35 people would pay a
    premium of $1.40 to buy coffee from Jekyll and demand a
    discount of $2.40 to buy Hyde coffee. Do you think this
    preference translates into job choice decisions? Why or why not?
    A) Yes, I think that people would pick the job that provided more even though it
    meant giving up some of their values or lowering their standards. There are also
    people who would not give up what they believe in to make a buck or couple of
    bucks. It depends on the morals that people are brought up with that help to
    differentiate from which company they would choose to benefit from.I would not
    be able to work for someone who lied to their customers, I think that if people
    have to lie then there must be a problem. I do not like covering up facts that may
    or may not affect other people who base their decisions on these facts. All
    information should be available regardless of how it would affect their business,
    that’s good customer service
