This rubric includes three scenarios (one for the classroom, one for the workplace, and one for career-technical student organizations) that can be implemented to assess students' abilities to demonstrate ethical work habits. It also includes a comprehensive rubric and instructions for using the rubric to assess student performance. A downloadable document containing the full set of activities, instructions, and rubrics can be found in the Resource Library.

"Change, as they say, is good. But can repeated structural change be bad? New research says that for public organizations, that could be the case. A look at the structural reform history of public organizations in Belgium reveals that repetitive reorganization is linked to employee absenteeism—possibly due to stress and anxiety bred by a culture of constant change. Over the past decade, reforms in the public sector have become exceedingly common—whether through mergers or acquisitions, the adoption of new tasks, or changes in legal status.

If employees speak up and express their ideas and opinions, the thinking goes, then they’re not remaining silent about other problems or concerns. It turns out, that’s not the case. In an Academy of Management Journal paper, researchers analyzed multiple studies involving thousands of employees to understand the link between voice (how often employees volunteer constructive ideas or issues at work) and silence (the extent to which they intentionally withhold ideas or issues). The conclusion was that the two behaviors were virtually independent. The research found that voice and silence are driven by different psychological factors..."
