ETHICS IN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT (HRM)
Ethics
Ethics entails those values which have been adopted by individuals or rather instilled by the external forcesthat help one in distinguishingthe right from what is wrong. Thus, such a person tends to act accordingly. Ethics originates from a number of sources which include religion, organizational culture, and legal obligations, among others. (Resource Management Institute, n.d.).
Ethics is one of the basic elements of human life. Ethics forms the base which people decide what course of action to take. It shapes an individual’s plans and, therefore, without it, a person’s actions would be random and aimless. This amounts to total confusion for a person as well as in organizations. Organizations would lack waysof working towards their set goals. This is because bringing differencesseveral goals is difficult.
Having an ethical standard is not a perfection, it can be a challenge for organizations to effectively work on their goals and successfully realizing them. The issue here is that, the degree of a rational ethical standard determines the extent to which an organization can organize its goals and actions in the right manner. This fostersthe achievement ofthe most important values. Any shortcoming in ethics disable successful endeavors.
Ethics affects the way the society view actions. It dictates what is taken to be good and what is considered as bad, what is right or wrong. The society or even organization will take each and every action to ensure they work in accordance with the existing ethical standards. Any deviation from the accepted code of ethics amounts to a breach of ethical standards. There are always repercussions for this. The responsible person or organization is liable to a penalty.
Ethical issues are dynamic. They vary from one community to another and from one organization to another. What is considered ethical in one community or organization may be unethical in another. This makes the ethics concept a bit complex. This means some ethical issues or standard may not be applied universally. (Kidder, 2003).

i. Employment opportunities to the people

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. HR ETHICAL ISSUES
Ethical issues abound in HR activities. Areas of ethical misconduct in
the personnel function include employment, remuneration and benefits,
labour relations, health and safety, training and development, and HRIS
(hr ethical issues)
Cash and Performance Race and
incentives appraisal disability
Ethical issues
Employment Privacy issues Safety and Restructuring
issues health and layoffs
Cash and incentives plans
This includes base salaries, annual incentive plans, long term incentive plans,
executive perquisites, and separation agreements.
Base salaries- The HR function is often presumed to justify a higher level of base
salaries, or a higher percentage increase than what competitive practice calls for.
In some cases, pressure is exerted to re-evaluate the position to a higher grade for
the purpose of justifying a larger than normal increase.
Annual incentive plan- The HR manager is often forced to design and administer
top-management incentive plans, at higher raters than what the individuals
deserve. A common rationale presented to the HR executive for bending the rules
is the fear of losing the outstanding executives, if higher incentives are not paid.
2. Long-term incentive plan- Just as with annual incentive plan, many HR
executives have the responsibility of designing and administering the firm’s long
term incentive plans, but in consultation with CEO and an external consultant.
Ethical issues arise when the HR executive is put to pressure to favour top
management interests over those of other employees an investors
Executive perquisites- Executive perquisites make the ethical standard of the HR
executive difficult because their cost is often out of proportion to the value added.
For example a story relates to Bangalore –based ,losing making public sector
undertaking whose CEO spend 20 lakh to get swimming pool built at his
residence.
Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisal lends itself to ethical issues. Assessment of an individual’s
performance is based on observation and judgment. HR manager are expected to
observe the performance in order to judge its effectiveness.
Ethics should be the cornerstone of performance evaluation, and the overall
objective of high ethical performance reviews should to provide an honest
assessment of the performance and mutually develops a plan to improve the
ratee’s effectiveness.
Race, Gender, Age, and Disability
The practice of treatment of employees according to their race, ethnic origin, sex,
or disability has largely been stopped. A framework of laws and regulations ahs
evolved that has significantly improved work place behavior. No enterprise today
dare to publicly state it denies minorities, woman, and the disable opportunities for
employment, remuneration, and growth prospects different from those given to
others.
In this environment the role of HR function is to:
Monitor the principles and norms of the enterprise to ensure that they reflect
the values of the society as expressed in its law.
Monitor the selection, rewards, development and, the appraisal system to
ensure that they are consistent with the principles and norms.
Vigorously pursue violations and, when necessary, vigorously work to
defend the enterprise against unfounded allegations.
Employment Issues
3. While discrimination and harassment situation receives mort publicity, HR
practitioners are more likely to face ethical dilemmas in the areas of employee
hiring. One challenge commonly encountered is pressure to hire a relative o a
friend of a highly placed executive.
Another area related to employment is that of faked credentials submitted by a job
applicant. While discovery of this kind of fabrication usually leads to termination of
the employment, the choice becomes difficult when the applicant has a blend of
skills set and a proven track record with his or her previous employers.
Privacy issues
Privacy issues to protecting a person’s private life from intrusive and unwarranted
actions. The employee believes that his or her religious, political, and social
believes as well as personal life style are private matters and should be safe
guarded from being snooped or analysed.Exceptions are permitted grudgingly only
when job involvement is clearly involved. For example, it may not be inappropriate
to intrude into an employee’s private matter if it is suspected that he or she
discusses with competitor, through email messages, the specification of newly
developed product not yet launched into the market.
Safety and health
Much of the industrial work is hazardous. This is because of the extensive use of
high speed and noisy machinery, production processes requiring high
temperature, an increasing reliance on chemical compounds .Accidents, injuries
and illnesses are likely to occur under these circumstances. Over past decade,
new categories of accident and illness have emerged, including the fast growing
job safety problem of office injuries.
Restructuring and Layoffs
Restructuring and consequent layoffs have become relevant because of poor
management, but incompetence does not become unethical. There are ethical
implications in the process by which termination decisions are made and actions
taken. For example if restructuring requires closing a plant , the process by which
that plant is chosen ,how the news will be communicated ,and the time frame for
completing the layoffs are ethically important .If conducted in an atmosphere of
fairness and equity and with dignity of the affected individuals in mind, the action is
ethical.
Ethical Dilemmas
4. Several ethical dilemmas comfort an HR manager. The ethical dilemmas arise
from three sources-faces to face ethics, policy ethics, and functional area ethics.
Face to face ethics
These arise mainly because there is a human element in most business
transactions. Business is composed of this human transaction; it should not be
surprising that face to face ethical dilemmas arise often. It is likely that the quality
assurance man overlooks minor defects and approves a lot delivered by a supplier
because of the personal relationship that the two enjoy.
Corporate policy ethics
Companies are often faced with ethical dilemmas that affect their operations
across all departments and divisions. The consequences of employment
contraction in labour intensive basic industries because of the improved methods
of production .Modern technology has replaced older methods of production which
has in turn resulted in hundreds being jobless. The ethical burden of deciding
corporate policy matters normally rests upon a company’s HR management. The
Hr manager and directors are responsible for making policies and implementing
them too. The ethical content of their policies can have enormous impact
throughout the company. It can set an ethical tone and send right signals to all
employees as well as external stakeholder.
Functional area Ethics
Functional area of a business is likely to comfort ethical issues. Accounting is a
critical function of any business. Accounting statements reveals to the manager
and owner the financial soundness of a company. Managers, investors, regulating
agencies, tax collectors and trade unions rely on accounting data to
makedecisions.Honesty, integrity accuracy are absolute requirements of the
accounting functions. Account standard ensure a high level of honest an ethical
accounting disclosure.
Ethical dilemmas crop up in purchasing departments where strong pressure is to
obtain the lowest possible prizes from suppliers and where too felt similar need it
bag lucrative contracts. Bribes, kickbacks, and discriminating pricing are
temptation to both parties.
