Professional Ethics
- Professional ethics ensures practical application, not just theory. It involves translating concepts, principles, values, ethics, plans, and strategies into tangible results.
- Professional conduct is broader than job performance. It involves fulfilling obligations to various parties, not just minimum job requirements.
- Quality work is important, and drawing on knowledge and experience is crucial, but it's not the only component of professional ethics.
- Developing professional ethics involves three levels:
- Cognitive level: Choosing ethical values based on knowledge of benefits, freely choosing them without coercion.
- Affective level: Appreciating and valuing the chosen ethical choice, feeling pride and defending it.
- Behavioral level: Translating the chosen value into actions consistent with its meaning.
