Read the case below and answer the questions)

 

Rose Collins was an accounts receivable clerk for a large corporation. She enjoyed the job and was generally happy with her workplace. Her employer had an extensive corporate giving program and supported employee voluntarism, in which she participated. For example, Rose volunteered to participate in the cleanup of a park near her office. It was an enjoyable activity and involved social interaction with many colleagues. Overall, she was pleased to be working for a corporation that was socially responsible.

 

 Rose had reservations about the corporate giving problem—in particular, the annual United Way campaign. Firstly, she did not agree with the purpose of some of the charities covered by the United Way. Secondly, she preferred to contribute directly to the charities she supported and whose aims she endorsed. Lastly, she felt pressure from supervisors and peers to contribute. This last reservation cause Rose some anxiety.

 

She had been reading online about workplace charity drives. A poll of readers of The Globe and Mail found that 51% liked to support charity drives, 36% preferred to make their donations privately, and 13% felt pressured to contribute. Apparently, Rose was not alone in her concern.

 

Rose felt very uneasy about her direct supervisor heading up the campaign in her department. Although the actual canvassing was done by peers, she still felt pressure and anxiety. She was not sure how to say no or what excuse to make. She wondered if anyone would believe a statement that she had already used up her "charitable budget." She was also not sure how others would feel when she stated that she should be able to give to charities she preferred and in private. Even more troublesome was her concern about how saying no would impact her career.

 

The campaign made her very uncomfortable and she was even feeling guilty. Fun campaign activities were organized in the office and it was obvious to all when did not attend. The office had a goal to raise $5,000 and she was not contributing as expected of team members. Rose faced a dilemma and did not know what to do.
