Ethical or unethical HRM? What does "being ethical" mean in relation to the human resources function? In my paper I would like draw attention to the emerging significance of HRM ethics. I wish to demonstrate how the democratic methodology of co-operative inquiry (based on participatory paradigms and practice) relates to HRM research. My intention is twofold: first, I wish to share some interpretations of the participants concerning their own definition of ethics, their interpretations of role morality and moral muteness. Second, I want to show that a co-operative methodology can be a novel way of exploring ethical dilemmas and it can also facilitate more ethical action.

Etyczne lub nieetyczne ZZL? Co oznacza "bycie etycznym" w odniesieniu do zarządzania zasobami ludzkimi? W niniejszej pracy zwracam uwagę na coraz większą rolę i znaczenie etyki w zarządzaniu zasobami ludzkimi. Chciałabym pokazać, jak demokratyczna metodologia wspólnych badań poznawczych (opartych na paradygmatach uczestniczących i praktyce) odnosi się do badań w zakresie ZZL. Moja intencja jest dwojaka: po pierwsze, pragnę podzielić się interpretacją uczestników badań dotyczącą ich własnej definicji etyki, ich interpretacją na temat roli moralności i moralnego milczenia. Po drugie, chcę pokazać, że metodologia wspólnych badań poznawczych może być nowym sposobem odkrywania dylematów etycznych i może również ułatwić bardziej etyczne działania.
