Wall-Mart’s policy on Equal Pay
for Women
Potential research study for my
Signature assignment will be Wal Mart’s policy on equal pay for women.
Write a brief paper on what you
see as possible ethical considerations that may arise. Respond to the following
questions:
• What
are your tentative problem, purpose, and research questions? What are all of
the data-collection strategies that you might use to answer the questions?
Which factors would you consider when deciding which one to use?
• Who
would be the target group that you would want to recruit to participate in your
study? What ethical issues are associated with collecting data from this group?
Are there other groups that could also be considered? Would they pose different
or less ethical issues?
• How
would you gain access to and permission from this group? Would there be any
conflicts of interest?
• Do
you plan to provide compensation to participants? What ethical issues might
arise if you do?
• How
would you ensure confidentiality and mitigate any issues of coercion?
• What
data collection methods might you consider? Would they pose any ethical issues?
Why or why not? Are there other potential data collection methods that you
could use that might pose fewer ethical issues but could still answer your
research questions?
