Question Explanation
Text ExplanationVideo Explanation
The correct answer is option B.
Opinion 3 suggests that Moonlighting leads to employees missing out on important organizational work, highlighting potential negative consequences for the primary job. This emphasizes the impact on the employee's commitment and performance in their main role. Opinion 4 points out the risk of unknowingly leaking critical information gained from one organization to another while Moonlighting. This highlights a potential ethical concern related to confidentiality and the potential harm to the interests of the primary employer. Together, these opinions provide a balanced perspective on the negative consequences and ethical dimensions of Moonlighting, helping Mr. Q understand the potential risks and downsides associated with taking up extra work outside his primary job.
Option A is incorrect because Opinion 2 suggests that Moonlighting is a choice of the employee, and the employer has no authority over the employee's conduct after office hours. This perspective leans towards individual freedom. However, when combined with Opinion 4, which highlights the risk of leaking critical information, it doesn't strongly emphasize the potential negative consequences and ethical concerns related to Moonlighting.
Option D is not correct because Opinion 2 reiterates the idea that Moonlighting is the choice of the employee, while Opinion 3 highlights the consequence of employees missing out on important organizational work. While Opinion 3 provides a potential negative consequence, the emphasis on individual choice in Opinion 2 may not strongly convey the ethical concerns related to Moonlighting.
Option E is not correct because Opinion 2 emphasizes the employee's right to make choices after office hours, while Opinion 5 suggests that Moonlighting is okay due to perceived exploitation by employers. These opinions again provide conflicting perspectives and may not effectively address the ethical considerations associated with Moonlighting.
The correct option is B
