This chapter studies the link of between human resource management (HRM) to and the ethical behaviour of the organization. It begins by reviewing the major approaches to ethics in Western philosophy such as deontological, consequentialist, and virtue-based approaches. It also talks about the strengths and weaknesses of those approaches and how they can be applied to business undertakings. The chapter presents the special features of the employment relationship. It also examines the concept of whistleblowing and investigates the ethical questions and problems posed when engaging in two core HRM activities, employee reward and the management of equality and diversity issues. The concluding part of the chapter highlights the role of HRM specialists with respect to organizational ethics and asks if they have a potential role as 'ethical stewards' or the 'conscience' of the organization.
