Background to the Study

Ethics is the aspect of conduct governing behavior of an individual or a group. There are two things involved while making ethical decisions; normative decisions which suggest that something is, better or worse, right or wrong, good or bad and secondly, morality which refers to the accepted standards of behavior by the society (Dessler, 2008). People with ethical behaviors are trustworthy, impartial and fair. Respect the rights of others and mind in the impact of their actions on society. Conversely, unethical people are selfish and dishonest. Willing to say or do whatever they can in order to achieve their personal interests (Yalokwu, 2002). Human resource management (HRM) is the process of hiring, training, appraising, and rewarding employees, ensuring fair practices, labor relations, as well as health and safety. HRM also entails the section of management which is concerned with the managing of people at work (Dessler, 2011). Conaboy and Richard (2005) connotes that transparent and just HRM practices and policies are the basis of creating an ethical and a professional public service.
