It has been claimed that the HR 'profession' suffers from a chronic lack of social legitimacy. In this paper we advance the idea that not only does HR work lack social legitimacy but it is also openly stigmatized for being immoral. In other words, we maintain that HR work can be conceptualized as morally dirty work. We provide empirical support for this contention by analyzing a sample of 22 international films representing HR practitioners at work. The research results show that HR work in filmic representations comprises both immoral tasks and immoral methods, thus furnishing a comprehensive and nuanced picture of the immoral aspects that can affect the HR profession. Furthermore, films show that HR practitioners can take their distance from the moral dirtiness of their work by either exiting the role, trying to reform it, or openly raising resistance against their employer. These research results highlight the need to integrate dirty work scholarship into study of the HR profession, while they provide important indications in terms of future HR research, practice and education.
