The scientific article presents a navigation scheme for guiding the principles of professional ethics of HR-managers according to the code of ethics approved by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM). The content and professional and ethical guidelines for them are determined according to each of the principles, including: professional compliance, professional development, ethical leadership, impartiality and fairness, conflict of interest, use of information. In addition, a navigator of professional ethics standards has been formed, guided by specialists of recruitment agencies (recruitment managers or recruiters) in relation to clients of customers (individuals – job seekers and legal entities – employers), based on the analysis of large network and boutique recruitment sites of USA companies and codes of ethics for recruiters, developed by international recruitment associations, as well as independently supplemented by the author. In particular, the paper considers such professional standards as: absence of discriminatory manifestations in relation to the candidate at all stages of selection; ban on their enticement, including through the principle of practice “off-limits” (studied different approaches to the scale of its distribution, timing, obstacles to “closed access” for employment intermediaries, provided proposals to avoid conflicts of interest in its use); ensuring the confidentiality of information; constant communication with the customer company; providing the most reliable information to the candidate and the employer; consent from the candidate for the transfer of his personal data; inadmissibility of the offer of one candidate to several customers; refusal to cooperate with “unreliable” clients; prevention of informal relations between the specialist of the recruiting agency and the candidate. It was found that the development of a civilized recruitment market in Ukraine is hindered by the lack of consolidated, adapted to the domestic realities of the recruitment business and officially recognized by its representatives as professional standards of the code of ethics for recruiters.

In this article the current state of professional ethics in Europe, more specifically with respect to assessment and testing, is discussed. It is shown that, in comparison to other places, the development in Europe of professional ethics for psychologists has a more general character than elsewhere, and that the professional conduct, inasmuch as it concerns assessment and testing, must be viewed in a broader context. The article includes reflections not only on the state of ethics, as laid down in codes of ethics, but also reflections on some critical issues as well as on some empirical findings on the evaluation of unethical conduct.

Concerns of parents of children with emotional, behavioral, and cognitive problems with respect to the behavior and attitudes they encounter from professionals coincide with concerns professionals have about their own behavior as set forth in professional codes of ethics. Thirty-four experts on professional ethics evaluated items on a behavioral questionnaire. Parents then used the questionnaire to rate professionals who had worked with the mental health problems of their children. Problem areas identified included informed consent, parent self-determination, and respect and compassion for parents.

Until recently (before managed care), business issues in healthcare organizations (HCOs) were relatively insulated from clinical issues, for several reasons. The hospital at earlier stages of its development operated on a combination of charitable and equitable premises, allowing for providing care to be separated from financial support. Physicians, who were primarily responsible for clinical care, constituted an independent power nexus within the hospital and were governed by their own professional codes of ethics. In exchange for a great deal of control over their conditions of practice, they took almost complete responsibility for patient care. Thus clinical and professional ethics could to some extent be compartmentalized from the business issues—a much easier feat when, as in much of the last few decades, virtually all care was reimbursed from some source or other. In addition, many HCOs were not categorized or treated as businesses, although of course they were presumed to be governed by the same expectation for good management as any other organization.

Engineering ethics is that form of applied or professional ethics concerned with the conduct of engineers. Though engineers do many different things, they share a common history, which includes codes of ethics. Most codes explicitly declare public health, safety and welfare to be ‘paramount’. Many questions of engineering ethics concern interpretation of ‘public’, ‘safety’ and ‘paramount’. Engineers also have important obligations to client and employer, including confidentiality, proper response to conflict of interest, stewardship of resources, and honesty (not only avoiding false statements but volunteering certain information). Each engineer also has obligations to other engineers and to the profession as a whole.

This commentary reflects on the Academy of Management's experience since developing a formal code of ethics to guide the professional behaviour of its members over twenty years ago. Despite widespread efforts to publicize the Code within the Academy, a sizeable proportion of Academy members are unaware it exists and only a very small proportion have read it carefully. Current efforts underway to increase ethics awareness are described. In addition, it is suggested that the discussion of ethical principles needs to move beyond a printed document and annual workshops to become more influential in the day-to-day lives of management professors. Suggestions for how this might be accomplished by the Academy of Management and other similar associations with codes of ethics (e.g., IACMR) are discussed.
