• W301139513 abstract "CASE DESCRIPTION This short case focuses on the problems of mixing religious values with a secular work environment. Fairness issues dealing with freedom of expression and prayer in the workplace, religious intimidation, discrimination and harassment are raised. The case has a difficulty level of four, and is best-suited for use in junior, senior, or graduate-level courses in human resource management or organizational behavior. This case can be presented and discussed in about one and a half hours, and is expected to require two to three hours of outside preparation by students. CASE SYNOPSIS This case is set in a private mid-western rehabilitation center. The new owner has implemented an operating philosophy based on Biblical principles, and the born-again assistant administrator now begins all staff meetings with prayer. The situation is exacerbated when the assistant administrator persists in inviting staff to attend evangelistic meetings at his church. A few workers are concerned about this new imposition of religion in the workplace, and become more alarmed when they discover that the highest raises have been given to workers who attended some of the evangelistic meetings and who regularly volunteer to pray at the staff meetings. After an employee quits and files a complaint with the Michigan Department of Civil Rights, an investigation discovers that a couple of workers have felt somewhat annoyed, while the majority at the center feel the working environment has never been better. Are the new owner's religious values appropriately expressed and displayed at work, or has the work environment become one of religious discrimination, harassment and intimidation? INSTRUCTORS' NOTES This case raises issues of religious expression, fairness, discrimination, intimidation and harassment in the workplace. Ask your students to read the case carefully and prepare answers to the discussion questions, or assign them into small groups and ask them to make specific recommendations to Mr. Southington. As you discuss the case, try to keep the class focused on both the legal and practical issues that must be resolved at the Milton Health and Rehabilitation Center. Expect lively class debates and differences of opinion. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Is it acceptable or inappropriate for Mr. Southington to impose his conservative values and religion-based business philosophy on the operations of the Milton Health and Rehabilitation Center? When corporate ownership changes, new policies, procedures and work rules can be expected, unless there is a union contract in place. There will be a variety of opinions expressed by the class, but it appears that Mr. Southington did nothing inappropriate when he held his initial meeting with the staff. He offered to retain all workers if they felt comfortable with his new management expectations at the center, and if they were not, they were free to leave the organization and seek employment elsewhere. He revealed his intention to apply Bible-based values and the Golden Rule as guiding business principles at the rehabilitation center. Mr. Southington's new business principles are general enough that most people would not see this as an imposition of religion in the workplace. He didn't tell the staff they had to pray or to start going to church. His values (the Golden Rule) imply that the staff should go out of their way to treat everyone with respect, and to deal with others as we would wish to be dealt with if we were in their position. This principle is not unique to Christianity, and even atheists and post-modern secularists would say this is a courteous practice to follow. Swearing, crude remarks, and smoking are impositions which frequently make others uncomfortable, so banning these actions should enhance the work atmosphere and make the patients and staff feel more comfortable. Drunkenness and smoking are dangerous activities which jeopardize the safety and health of patients and coworkers. …" @default.
