In these years business ethics got an important role in media of Hungary. However, while several companies are successful at business ethics – that is proved by the Business Ethics Award with 8 winners last year (Piac és Profit, 2014) -, numerous companies cannot improve ethical behavior in their everyday organizational activities. Fortunately, 96% of top managers of Hungarian companies confessed, their employees’ well-being is important for them and sustainability and fairness inform their decision making. (HR Portal, 2014)

On the other hand, this study exemplifies, that 22% of managers feel like they are sometimes forced to make unethical decisions in favor of the uninterrupted operation of the company. Because of the business pressure an internal conflict occurs and managers have to make injurious judgment – against their will. Usually these are the critical situations, when the managers have to choose between their employees’ satisfaction and the company’s liquidity.

In my study the focus is on the case when a company has to downsize involuntarily, and because of the manager’s ethical attitude, they want to execute this duty in a more empathetic and provider way. They vote for outplacement, a human political equipment to minimize the psychological, social and legal consequences of the dismissal in both participants. (Angyal, 2000)

Furthermore, this concept is important for the management because of the other employees, who work still at the company. During a downsize process there will be a general uncertainty affecting work stress, engagement, performance and complacency. (Gerákné, 2006)

Moreover, the method of the dismissal and the treatment of the management impact the company’s image and further performance, orders. (Angyal, 2000)

Recently the outplacement topic is significantly serious to investigate in Hungary.

The Government of Hungary voted a new proposed legislation about stores’ opening hours. As a result, some bigger stores have to close every Sunday. The reason is that Sunday should be a family-day to rest for the population. It is a humane initiative from our government, however we should recognize, in this way many stores are forced to dismiss one part of their workforce. One of the biggest hypermarkets, Tesco will close 13 stores in the country. (HR Portal, 2015) The certain stores will face a challenge, but they have this adjuvant method to reduce the damage.
