ETHICAL NORMS FOUND IN ROMANIAN LABOR LEGISLATION, IMPLICATIONS FOR HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Abstract

While conducting business, including in the management activity within an organization, the rules underlying business are mainly of a legal nature. Interesting are the cases/situations in which the law is not limited to legal norm, but also includes ethical norms, which it protects, through the sanction of the legal norm. Labor Code stipulates: "it is prohibited, under the sanction of absolute nullity, to conclude an individual employment contract for the purpose of performing an illicit or immoral job or activity".  Immoral work or activity means that it does not comply with moral norms. This article refers to the activity that the employee, the human resource of the organization, is obliged to provide within the legal relation of labor law, a relation established between it and the employing organization. A correct and complete human resource management should prioritize aspects regarding the legal protection of the employee, at all stages of management activity. This represents a correct valorization of human resources by the employing organization.
