Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The criterion of care involves making decisions based on relationships and promoting the well-being of others. A company that prioritizes the well-being of its employees is operating under this criterion, as it is prioritizing the relationship and care it has for its employees. Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall utility or happiness for the greatest number of people, the justice criterion focuses on fairness and equal treatment, the rights criterion emphasizes protecting individual rights, and social responsibility pertains to a company's obligation to the broader society and environment. While a company's attention to employee well-being can overlap with some of these other ethical decision criteria, it aligns most directly with the criterion of care.
