PrudentialDisclosureasRelationalSelf-Protection
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#PrudentialDisclosureasRelationalSelf-Protection
Applied to
Decision whether to voluntarily disclose autism to current employer
Balancing with
Career self-interest
Personal Privacy Right in Professional Self-Disclosure
Concrete expression
Engineer A's deliberation about whether to voluntarily disclose his autism to his current employer — motivated by the self-advocacy conference and his own desire for openness — reflects the prudential dimension of voluntary disclosure: while not ethically required, disclosure may serve his long-term relational and professional interests by establishing a foundation of mutual knowledge and trust
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
The prudential disclosure principle counsels Engineer A to weigh the relational benefits of proactive disclosure against the career risks; the self-advocacy movement's encouragement to share 'who you are and what you can do' reflects this prudential value
Invoked by
Engineer A Present Case Disability-Disclosing Licensed Engineer
Tension resolution
The principle does not resolve the tension determinately — it identifies disclosure as prudentially advisable in some circumstances while acknowledging the legitimacy of the privacy right; Engineer A must exercise personal judgment
Source Evidence
