For a non-profit organization trust is a key element to engage volunteers, donors and other business; without trust chances are that the organization might fail to achieve their mission. Trust is acquire by performing the goals you have set for your mission and not deviating from it, at least not too far from achieving the organizations goals either for non-profit or for profit organization. It is also important to have a plan (Taylor-Hamm) in case there is a catastrophic event that might jeopardize your organization, it will help you foresee adverse situations and you will be better prepared in case your first plan fails. Performance challenges are faced in the same manner on both types of organizations non-profit and for profit organization. However they might be measured in a different way due to the different types of mission they have set for themselves and the different outcome they might expect.
If these consequences aren’t taken into account innocent subjects may be harmed, bad reputations can be put on yourself or your affiliates, and other various negative results. Moreover something else to be taken into consideration when doing social research is to always get the voluntary consent of your subject without being deceptive about the study. This is extremely important unless the research is unobtrusive in which the method is strictly observations and don’t have any effect on the people studied. I find being truthful about the study upfront being a valid consideration because if you were to being in subjects who feel as though they have been fooled or not told the truth your research study may go awry. In article 4, Men as Success Objects and Women as Sex objects, the research was unobtrusive and really had no possible outcome for negative consequences besides possibly disturbing results.

These companies make a point of following the law to ensure that others cannot take legal action against them.

The main issue of the ethics in human behavioral experimentation is when the subject feels deceived. Due to this, participants have rights that researchers follow. They must be protected from physical and mental harm, they retain their privacy regarding their behavior, the participation must be voluntary, and the necessity of informing participants about the nature of procedures before their participation in the experiments. With
Case 4F: Lack of Fairness (pillar #4) Volunteer boards must have the moral courage to stand on the core ethical values of justice and fairness. When justice and fairness are compromised, the organization loses its credibility, financial support declines, and board members resign. I experienced all of this during my final term on one volunteer board. The primary cause of the injustice was the concealment of a memo written by members of a regional consortium and addressed to our Executive Administrator with explicit instructions, “Please read to your board.” She did not. She didn’t want the board to see the resentment and disruption that the name change was causing with members of this regional consortium.

I would think that disclosing the advisors motives would have a greater impact on the estimator’s decision.
