http://proethica.org/ontology/case/73#Objectivity_Invoked_By_Engineer_A_Competing_Stakeholder_Pressures
Properties
Instance of
Applied to
Technical evaluation of energy system replacement options for organizational board
Balancing with
Carbon Footprint Reduction Stakeholder interests
Environmental Stewardship in Engineering Practice
Concrete expression
Engineer A must render an objective technical assessment of both the solar without storage and fossil-fueled co-generation options — including reliability, grid impact, cost, and environmental dimensions — without allowing the carbon footprint reduction stakeholders' preferences to skew the analysis toward the solar option
Confidence
0.93
Importance
high
Interpretation
Objectivity requires Engineer A to present the reliability disadvantages of the solar option with the same prominence as its environmental and cost advantages, resisting stakeholder pressure to frame the analysis favorably toward the preferred option
Invoked by
Engineer A Energy Systems Reporting Engineer
Tension resolution
Objectivity prevails over stakeholder preference; the board is entitled to an unbiased technical assessment that enables informed decision-making rather than a report structured to support a predetermined conclusion
Source Evidence
Source text
The ethical objective is an informed policy and project decision-making process.
Text references
Some may argue that continuing to operate a fossil-fueled generator is inconsistent with public health, safety, and welfare, while others will point to the increased reliability of the fossil-fueled generator as a demonstration of greater concern for public welfare.
The ethical objective is an informed policy and project decision-making process.
