Job market stresses ethics among staff and companies

Experts have called on companies and employees to strengthen integrity management - the emerging area that advises individuals and corporations on how to apply the highest ethical standards to every aspect of their business - in relation to China's job market.

They also urged governments to beef up relevant laws and regulations in relation to hiring in the job market.

"Integrity at work is even more important where you have potentially explosive information linked to the jobs," said Tian Yongpo, head of human resources and market research in the Chinese Academy of Personnel Science.
