Description

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Health - Sport - Sport Economics, Sport Management, grade: 1,0, Sport Academy Cologne (Institut für Sportökonomie und Sportmanagement), language: English, abstract: The exposure of human rights violations in Qatar's construction business in relation to the FIFA World Cup 2022 has put the FIFA, an organisation with a profound commitment to CSR, under immense international public pressure. As the FIFA is struggling to be proactive and meet the expectations of society, this research paper aims to serve as a guideline for the FIFA how to evaluate this situation and to demonstrate the necessity of implementing measures. The reports of renowned, international, non-governmental organisations deliver proof of severe human rights violations and inadequate protection of workers. The analysis from an ethical standpoint comes to the conclusion that the inevitability to act in this situation is justified. Therefore, the implementation of a four-step approach is suggested, which pursues the improvement of working conditions and the reestablishment of FIFA's reputation and credibility. Further research could focus upon the analysis of approaches to HRM practices in Qatar by other internationally, operating companies.
