Question

Explain importance of ethical conduct in selection process of employees

Answer 1

Higher education is a human resource intensive enterprise. It is not surprising, then, that recruitment and selection of staff should be a very high priority in most if not all units and divisions of student affairs. Recruitment and selection should include procedures directed to analyze the need and purpose of a position, the culture of the institution, and ultimately to select and hire the person that best fits the position. Recruitment and selection policy should, then, be directed toward the following objectives:
Hire the right person. Conduct a wide and extensive search of the potential position candidates. Recruit staff members who are compatible with the college or university environment and culture. Hire individuals by using a model that focuses on student learning and education of the whole person.
Place individuals in positions with responsibilities that will enhance their personal development.
