Morality and ethics are linked to moral philosophy. However, almost all books on Human Resource Management are in fact books on HRM without much concern for morality. Seven Moralities of Human Resource Management analyses morality of HRM from the perspective of American psychologist and ethicist Laurence Kohlberg (1927-1987). Standard works on the morality of HRM tend to classify HRM along three so-called main philosophical concepts: virtue ethics, utilitarianism, and Kantian ethics. This book examines and makes value judgements on whether or not HRM is moral through an exploration of HRM from the viewpoint of Kohlberg's seven stages of morality as a follow-up study of the author's 2012 book, Seven Management Moralities. This book is not so much a comprehensive and systematic philosophical discussion on HRM but an attempt to locate the morality of HRM along Kohlberg's scale of morality.
