Abstract: Often, transnational companies are accused of selfish human resource policies that focus on profit maximization without taking into account the needs of different stakeholders. This way, transnational companies are harmful both to employees in the country of origin, who lose their jobs, and employees from emerging countries, who carry out activities similar to those in developed countries, but in exchange for lower wages. Transnational companies bring many counterarguments, including: practicing fair human resource policies, ensuring higher salaries than average salaries in the countries where they operate, ensuring safe working conditions, employing fair recruitment and selection rules. This paper is based on the premise that corporate social responsibility supports the rethinking of human resource policies, as it favours the respect of ethics in human resource matters. The analysis we carried out showed a positive correlation between corporate social responsibility and corporate human resource policies. Organizations with a high level of corporate social responsibility are inclined to establish relevant and correct human resource policies.
