1. Respect for dignity and essential freedom of individuals – The philosopher, Immanuel Kant
postulated the dignity of the human being as central to human life. According to Kateb (2011),
human dignity indicates that all individuals are equal, it also represents an existential value. This
means that every human being has a dignity which does not have to be earned. Pirson and
Dierksmeier (2014) states that human dignity can be used as a pattern on which organizations
can be founded or managed. Taking human dignity as the principle starting point of the
organizing process has several implications for Human Resource Management. It does not only
entail the right for the people to be treated with dignity, but also the duty to behave in a dignified
way and to treat others with dignity.
6. Dedication to employees’ development in ways which are satisfying to the individual and
beneficial to the organization – Employee development is one of the most significant functions
of human resource practice. In a recent research suggests that ‘high commitment’ human
resource practices, such as employee development, affect organizational outcomes by shaping
employee behaviors and attitudes. Employee development is vital in maintaining and developing
the capabilities of both individual employees and the organization as a whole.
