Purpose

This paper aims to examine the ethics of authentic talent development in socioeconomic context by considering a set of alternative ethical frameworks. It juxtaposes the ideals of civic virtue, which involve a concern for the common good, with the reality that socioeconomic deprivation and sociocultural practices severely constrain talent development opportunities and choice.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper draws on several frameworks complementary to the ideals of civic virtue – the basic goods approach, human capital theory, the capabilities approach and the ethic of care – to elucidate the barriers to talent development embodied in sociocultural context, as well as policy and institutional practices to overcoming these barriers.

Findings

While multiple ethical frameworks are necessary to fully capture the issues related to authentic talent development in socioeconomic context, a focus on the ethic of care and basic goods provision is an important starting point. There are also a few fundamental starting points for human resource development in responding to ethical concerns regarding authentic talent development.

Originality/value

While the prevailing approach to talent development is implicitly based on a logic of social identity ascription, this paper promotes an alternative approach based on the ethics of civic virtue. While the former is oriented to the support of social hierarchies based on identity, the latter is oriented to fostering both social and human well-being via choice and authentic talent development.

人才发展的伦理：框架和身份

目的

本文旨在通过考虑一套替代的伦理框架来检验社会经济背景下真实人才发展的伦理。它将公民美德的理想与社会经济剥夺和社会文化实践严重限制人才发展机会和选择的现实并列在一起。

设计/方法/方法

本文借鉴了与公民美德理想互补的几个框架——基本商品方法、人力资本理论、能力方法和关怀伦理——来阐明社会文化背景以及政策和制度中体现的人才发展障碍克服这些障碍的实践。

发现

虽然需要多种伦理框架来充分捕捉与社会经济背景下真正的人才发展相关的问题，但关注护理伦理和基本商品提供是一个重要的起点。人力资源开发也有一些基本出发点，以回应有关真正人才发展的道德问题。

原创性/价值

虽然人才发展的主流方法隐含地基于社会身份归属的逻辑，但本文提出了一种基于公民美德伦理的替代方法。前者旨在支持基于身份的社会等级制度，而后者则旨在通过选择和真正的人才发展来促进社会和人类福祉。
