After I graduate, I would like to become a Human Resources Manager. The Human Resource Management (HRM) field defines ethics, “as rules of conduct or moral principles that guide individual or group behavior. The focus in business ethics is on awareness of organizational values, guidelines and codes, and behaving within those boundaries when faced with dilemmas in business or professional work. HR professionals are in a strategic position to ensure that their organizations maintain cultures that demand ethical behavior. Many serve as the primary ethics resource in their organizations and are involved in formulating ethics policies” (SHRM, 2023).
This definition of ethics relates to Fiddler and Marienau’s Events model. To be a successful Human Resources Manager, an individual must be able to learn from the different challenges they will face. The stages of the Events Model are the elements that I believe prompt more ethical decisions. Ethics in HRM requires people to follow rules and respect boundaries in a professional setting. These stages will not only help encourage these behaviors, but they will also promote new learning through the process of reflection. These stages of the Events Model are event, feedback, attention, experience, reflection, and new learning.
