According to De Silva &
Opatha (2015) EOHRM is comparatively a new concept and it had not been
discussed until very recently. In order to maintain justice towards its
stakeholders, an organization should perform its HRM functions ethically
(Armstrong 2012). There is an ethical aspect embedded in the HRM functions of
an organization (Armstrong 2012). This is to exercise social obligations, or to
be involved with the betterment of employees and proceeds ethical decisions
towards the requirements of employees and the community. The critical aspect of
the ethical dimension of HRM is, „to direct HRM functions ethically, in order
to create, enhance and maintain ethicality within employees, in order to make
an ethical workforce in the organization. Luthens (2013) conclude that, ethics
deals with moral issues and choices, which is connected to right and wrong
behavior in decision making.
HRM functions have a bigger role to play in
this major task. When recruiting new members to the organization, HRM should
act considerately to attract, select and hire ethical applicants to the
organization as the initial step in developing an ethical staff in the organization. Likewise
To accomplish this objective, HRM should consist of ethics screening standards
to the Elements of Acquiring, Developing, Retaining and Motivating.
