Enhancing Ethical U.S. HRM Education and Practice: Integrity Capacity and HRM Professionalism

摘要

Starting from the premise that human resource managers bear major responsibility for hiring (and retaining) the people responsible for the '07' - '09 financial crisis and recession, this article argues for major changes in training and education for these professionals. In particular, the "capacity" for integrity is regarded as a foundation of appropriate HR education, along with a pluralistic perspective as opposed to a "monotonist" (single) perspective. Based on an analysis ofHR roles in four types of capitalism (community, entrepreneurial, regulatory, and investor), the author recommends seven best practices for morally responsible HRM education that include drawing the best from international labor practices.
