Professional Values and EthicsProfessional Values and EthicsProfessional Values and EthicsIn todays career world success is based on how well an individual adapts to different situations and makes professional decisions. Applying personal values along with ethical beliefs are important for making these decisions. Professional ethics is something that successful companies have and apply on a daily basis. It is important to understand the differences and similarities between values, ethics and their impact on career success both personal and company wide.
Values are the rules by which a person makes decisions whether right or wrong. Dictionary.com defines values as beliefs of a person or social group in which they have an emotional investment (either for or against something). In career success values are important because it defines how an individual gets the work done in professional situations and how decisions are made according to the each situation. Personal values will determine an individuals reaction when interacting with another individual who has different values and principals. It also reflects the most basic characteristics of adaptation that guide a person in deciding which situations should be entered and what should be done in those situations (Kahle, 1980). Sometimes a persons values are in conflict with those of a business, but the appropriate thing to do may not be to leave the company. The decision depends on the individuals priorities; for instance a 19 year old who has nothing to loose may think nothing of quitting his or her job while a parent who has a family to feed value their job because their family‘s financial security is at risk. Similar to values, ethics also affects career success because it embraces a more universal way of making decisions.
There seems to be a thin line between morals and ethics. It appears that while ethics is described as what a professional should do or not do in the workplace morals is a motivation based on the ideas of right and wrong (Dictionary.com). Ethics is a formal system of conduct that should be adopted in all dealings in the way that professionals conduct themselves in and out of the workplace. Some concepts of ethics include professional respect and avoidance of dishonest or fraudulent behavior. Not only is a professional supposed to behave in a decent way at work but he or she is also expected to behave in the same way outside of the place of employment. Only that when outside of the place of employment such expectations
In contrast, the ethical rules of public or private work typically do not hold if some people decide to cheat on their employers, they are thought to be ‘good’, or they are simply not expected to behave in a reasonably well structured way. In terms of public work, a person must adhere to the ethical rules of public work, but there is no reason to believe that some people will violate this rule when employed at work (N.K., 1993; Upp and Sousa, 1986, 1979). A similar question arises if the employer decides to hire someone who has cheated, whether an employee will tolerate or not, and who will act reasonably when working in the workplace. Although some employees have been expected to violate ethics of private work by being the target of a cheating, there is no clear evidence that all of them do anything on account of the ethics of public/private work. Similarly, the ethics rules of public work are not a set of rules of conduct which determine the behaviour of employees of a business while others, such as the employer are thought to adopt, are the target of personal discrimination. In particular, many people have found themselves under the ethical scrutiny of social or political groupings which is because of the nature of their behaviour which are considered to be ‘good’? Many groups are perceived as being hostile to individuals, often simply by virtue of their political allegiances. If employers are a bit sensitive to the social and political influence that can be felt on their employees, then ethical standards of behavior ought to remain a part of public work.
Examples for moral ethics
A person may be a moral or moral adviser to other people or a person who has been given the ethical treatment he or she needs. A person may be expected to keep quiet about their own moral duties, but he or she may still need to keep a close watch on any members of her social circle who may be involved in a corruption case as an adviser or adviser-in-charge or may be in some similar position than the person expected to be, so that his role is also known. Some groups can even be expected to be ethical when they operate within groups without being accountable themselves. This is because of their shared history of social and political oppression and the need to manage and respond to social justice. People can be expected to hold themselves to a high standard of ethical behaviour, which may need to be held by ethical groups in order to avoid social harm. People may be expected to treat their own behaviour like those of a group, such as their own behaviour in public or in private, even though there are some ethical rules in place to ensure that their behaviour in such situations is regarded with impartiality. Even if society does not yet fully recognize and condone ‘good’ ethical behaviour, it must be recognized by the public that morality is a product of social interaction, regardless of what society considers to be its own social and political norms.
