摘要

While human resource management (HRM) practices are designed to improve performance by guiding and managing employee behavior at work, growing concerns highlight their potential dark sides in relation to workplace ethics. Despite the importance of this issue, a comprehensive review of the Moral implications of HRM practices remains underdeveloped. To advance the understanding of this area, we synthesize 94 articles that examined the relationships between HRM practices and systems and employee unethical behavior across various theoretical perspectives (e.g., social cognition, resource depletion, and social exchange). Our review reveals that, while prior studies across multiple disciplines have recognized the possibility of HRM practices to induce workplace unethical behavior, a more in-depth exploration is still needed to unpack their complex associations. We identify key theoretical and methodological challenges in existing work and propose a research agenda to guide future investigations at the intersection of HRM and behavioral ethics research.
