Abstract:
This paper reviews the existent literature on creating and sustaining ethical culture and
climate through human resource management (HRM) by discussing major issue and
objective of managing ethical culture and climate and examining the state of human resource
management in the same context. This review indicates different forms of ethical issues that
still widely exist in the organisations and also reveals limited literature that examines how
ethical culture and climate can be managed in organizations through effective HRM. The
findings of this review present the contribution of functional dimensions of HRM in creating
and sustaining ethical culture and climate at all levels in the organisations. This review also
discusses the implications for practice and further research in relation to creating HRM based ethical climate in organizations.
