Riscul moral şi consideraţiile etice în furnizarea serviciilor de către consultanţii organizaţionali
Keywords:
human resources consultancy, moral duty, ethicsAbstract
This paper examines the professional human resources consultancy by putting two perspectives side by side: the agency theory, which reestablishes the importance of both incentives and self-interest in the organizational reality, and ethics - the discipline dealing with what is good and bad, moral duty, the principles of conduct governing an individual or group.
The results of the present experimental study indicated that the presence of private information, and personal incentives lead to consultants implementing projects that could prejudice the company. The self interest behavior of the agent is moderated by de contractualism ethic dimension which refers to deontological aspects, implicit obligations, contracts, duties, rules.
