Presenting Organizations’ Best Practices for Managing Corporate


Relationships

Through online sources, provide real-life examples of BEST PRACTICES


on how organizations manage relationships between IT workers and the
enumerated individuals in this module. Give one example for each relationship.
Include your references.

Relationship Example

Between IT Worker and Employer IT workers and an employer typically agree


on the fundamental aspects of a relationship
before the worker accepts an employment
offer. These issues may include job title,
general performance expectations, specific
work responsibilities, drug-testing
requirements, dress code, and location of
employment, salary, work hours, and
company benefits. (Ethics Notes, PET
Engineering College May 2022).

The example above tells that when someone


is looking to join a company for a job, both
the person and the employer usually talk
about important things beforehand to make
sure they're on the same page. These
discussions cover various aspects, like the job
title, what's expected in terms of performance,
the specific tasks involved, whether there's
drug testing, what the dress code is, where the
job is located, how much the salary is, the

typical work hours, and any benefits the


company offers. It's like a mutual
understanding or agreement about the key
details that define the working relationship
between the person and the company. This
way, both parties have a clear picture of what
to expect before officially deciding to work
together.

Between IT Worker and Supplier A good working relationship with suppliers


encourages the flow of useful communication
as well as the sharing of ideas. Such
information can lead to innovative and cost-
effective ways of using the supplier’s
products and services. To achieve this goal,
they may sometimes engage in unethical
actions for example, offering an IT worker a
gift that is actually intended as a bribe. (Ethics
Notes, PET Engineering College May 2022).

Take this an example of me being the


procurement manager at a tech company,
forming a close bond with my key supplier.
One day, the supplier's representative,
knowing he/she's passion for technology,
surprises with an extravagant gift—an
advanced laptop. Little does he/she know, this
seemingly thoughtful gesture is a subtle
attempt to influence upcoming contract
negotiations. The laptop, meant to be a
generous present, doubles as an unethical ploy
to secure favorable business terms.

Between IT Worker and Users IT workers have a duty to understand a user’s


needs and capabilities and to deliver products
and services that best meet those needs -
subject, of course, to budget and time

constraints. (Ethics in IT, Qudsiya Naaz


2019).

Basically, it means IT Worker should listen to


what users want and can handle, then make
tech stuff that fits those needs, as long as it
fits the money and time limits.

Between IT Worker and other Professionals owe each other adherence to the
Professionals professions code of conduct. Experienced
professionals can also serve as mentors and
help develop new members of the profession.
(Ethics in IT, Qudsiya Naaz 2019).

In the realm of IT, experienced IT


professionals play a crucial role in this
ecosystem by serving as mentors to newer
members of the profession. Through
mentorship, they share their knowledge, guide
newcomers in navigating the complex
landscape of technology, and instill a sense of
ethical responsibility. This not only fosters the
growth and development of the individuals
involved but also contributes to the overall
integrity and professionalism of the IT
community. The transfer of experience and
adherence to ethical standards collectively
contribute to a robust and trustworthy IT
sector.

Between IT Worker and Society Society expects members of a profession to


provide significant benefits and to not cause
harm through their actions. It is important to
note that there is currently no single, formal
organization of IT workers that takes
responsibility for establishing and
maintaining standards that protect the public.

(Ethics in IT, Qudsiya Naaz 2019).

In a scenario, consider a freelance software


developer working on a healthcare
application. Without a centralized authority,
this developer may not follow best practices
for securing sensitive patient data, potentially
putting individuals at risk if the application is
not properly safeguarded against cyber
threats. The lack of overarching standards
could lead to inconsistent levels of
professionalism and jeopardize public trust in
IT services.

Between IT Worker and Clients IT workers provide services to clients,


sometimes those “clients” are coworkers who
are part of the same organization as the IT
worker. In other cases, the client is part of a
different organization. Note that in
relationships between IT workers and clients,
each party agrees to provide something of
value to the other. (Ethics in IT, Quadsiya
Naaz 2019).

In an organization, an IT worker could be


providing services to internal coworkers by
maintaining and troubleshooting the
company's internal network and computer
systems. This internal client relationship
involves the IT worker ensuring that
colleagues have reliable access to the
organization's resources, and in return, the
coworkers benefit from a smooth and efficient
digital work environment.
