    The document discusses several ethical issues that human resource managers may face, such as having to implement instructions from higher management that could negatively impact employees, and how they should consider alternative solutions that minimize negative impacts. It also discusses factors that shape ethical behavior at work, such as individual factors, organizational factors, and leadership, as well as some human resource activities related to ethics like staffing, training, and performance management.

    Human resource managers may face ethical issues when they are given instructions from higher level management to take actions that could oppress employees. In these situations, the manager must find alternative solutions that minimize negative impacts or determine the best way to implement the instructions while considering employee morale.

    The text discusses that individual factors, organizational factors like the organization's culture and leadership, and the work environment can all shape ethical behavior at work. Unethical environments can demotivate employees and even cause good employees to leave or attract unethical ones.

    Ethics in HRM

    A large area of human relations management is


    concerned with various ethical issues, both on the
    part of upper–level management in its business
    decisions and lower–level management in the
    treatment of individual employees. In making
    decisions the human resource manager should
    consider alternative solutions to the needs of the
    business as well as the effects the decisions will
    have on the lives of the employees. Frequently a
    human resource manager will be given instructions
    from higher level management to take action which
    will be oppressive to the employees and the
    manager must either present arguments to higher
    management for alternate solutions which will have
    less impact on the employee morale or determine
    the best method for implementing the instructions
    which have been given.
