Abstract: | An evaluation of paternalistic model of human resource management is provided. This conception of the employment relationship is deeply flawed and does not provide a morally acceptable approach towards responsible citizens in a democratic society. A wise management will try to open up its decision making processes and seek the participation of a wide range of stakeholders in the determination of the economic and social purpose of the company. Or the employment relationship can be informed by a communitarian perspective, which aims to strike a balance between the economic interests of employers and employees, and the need for justice to foster mutual cooperation in the pursuit of common purpose. |
