Abstract

This article argued how Ethical Orientation of HRM (EOHRM) could influence Ethical Decision-making (EDM) in organizations, by bridging the identified research gaps. EOHRM is a new concept in HRM literature. It is ‘the extent to which HRM functions have been directed to create, enhance and maintain ethicality within employees, to generate an ethical work force in the organization’. Unethical decision-making and immoral behavior of employees in organizations have become a serious global concern for over three decades. Unethical decision is a decision that is either illegal or morally unacceptable to the society, which could impact on the behavior of employees. The role of HRM functions on organizational performance had received much scholarly attention over the years. Despite its significance in contributing towards the organizational performance, theoretical or empirical research conducted on its impact on EDM are limited.
