Description
There are many books about HRM and many about ethics but none which take these issues together as the focus. Covering the subject of HR in a rigorous and comprehensive way using ethical frameworks, the book also looks at areas of ethical concern in current trends and practice, as well as examples and methods for promoting good practice. A timely contribution to the current gap in HRM literature.
