Computer Professional

Newly emerging professions dealing with computing attempt at formulating their own codes of ethics and professional conduct. However, there are widely-known problems with professional ethics – many authors argue that formulating codes of professional ethics causes moral confusion. In this paper, the author examines some main arguments against professional ethics and argues that there are good reasons for developing it. Then he tries to extract those features of professions dealing with computing that may justify a formulation of special codes of professional conduct. He criticises the widely-used concept of the ‚computer professional’ and argues for limiting it to such professions as programmers or operators of computer systems.

Assessment And Testing

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.

A code of professional conduct is a collection of norms appropriate for the nursing profession and should be the point of reference for all decisions made during the care process. Codes of ethics for nurses are formulated by members of national nurses’ organizations. These codes can be considered to specify general norms that function in the relevant society, adjusting them to the character of the profession and enriching them with rules signifying the essence of nursing professionalism. The aim of this article is to present a comparative analysis of codes of ethics for nurses: the ICN’s Code of ethics for nurses, the UK’s Code of professional conduct, the Irish Code of professional conduct for each nurse and midwife, and the Polish Code of professional ethics for nurses and midwives. This analysis allows the identification of common elements in the professional ethics of nurses in these countries.

Sooner or later in their daily working practice, engineers come in contact with issues of professional ethics. Codes of professional conduct are well developed and popular in a number of countries all over the world. Also in Germany, codes of professional conduct were developed for various professions such like medicine, civil and structural engineering as well as architecture over the past decades. As a planner, consultant or specialized expert, civil and structural engineers are obligated to obey the rules of proven professional conduct and modern professional ethics. Their professional practice requires the observation of secured technical knowledge and the obligation for ongoing professional development. The paper provides an overview about professional ethics and engineers’ professional law. Furthermore, it is dealing with the aspects of professional ethics in the civil and structural engineers’ daily working practice and it discusses the question, if rules of professional conduct help to establish clients’ trust in the competence and the moral attitude of civil and structural engineers. The author explains why it is necessary to implement ethical education in universities’ civil and structural engineering programs and to continue the education in the courses for ongoing professional development. Finally, the paper mentions relevant case law. The conclusion is: Codes of ethics may not have the same importance in all countries all over the world. But they can be inspirational and motivating as well as instructive. Codes of conduct help structural engineers to take decisions and are guiding principles in their daily working practice. Therefore, it is necessary to distribute knowledge of professional ethics and to enforce codes of professional conduct.

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.

Health Ethics

Abstract One of the major outputs of the WHO Regional Office for Europe “Coalition of Partners” initiative has been the development of the “Road map for professionalization of the public health workforce in Europe.” Public health ethics was considered as one of the key pillars for practice for the workforce. The report highlighted the case and urgent need for development of Public Health Codes of ethics and professional conduct (CoC) as an essential part of workforce development strategies. The development of CoCs is considered essential to pursue the mission and moral mandate of public health and to clarify the purpose of professional activities in public health. Scotland has been working as an initial pilot site in Europe to consider developing a CoC for its workforce as part of its public health reform program. The purpose of this roundtable workshop is to share and reflect on the learning from the process, experience and findings from development of the Scottish CoC as the first pilot site in Europe and implications for development of such codes in other public health systems. The workshop will also share the evidence, rationale and background to CoC with research and learning from around the world on the issue. The Roundtable will include brief presentations by an experienced expert panel of senior public health leaders, ethicists and academics who have been working on development of public health Codes of professional conduct. This will be followed by reflection, consultation and debate with participants around the case, nature and options for development of codes of practice and distinguishing features for public health practice. There are issues to whether there is need for country specific, regional or global codes of ethics taking account core public health values and implications for practice. One of the key issues identified is fundamental importance of ensuring such work is linked to a strategy and activities to build competency and capacity around public health ethics and law and to ensure resources, systems and robust education and training activities are put in place for a sustainable development of the issue. Key messages The Development of CoCs is important in order to support the workforce, pursue the mission and moral mandate of public health and clarify the purpose of professional activities. There is need to develop activities and strategy for building competency and capacity in public health ethics alongside development of Code of ethics and professional 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.

Professional Codes Of Ethics

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.

The development of a code of ethics is linked to one aspect of professionalization: the certification of psychologists.

Code Of Professional Conduct

Ethics is the foundation of a profession which becomes a common concern because of frequent misusesymptoms to the profession. The emergence of the discourse of professional code of ethics for judgesdeparted from the reality of law enforcement officials (especially judges) that ignores the values ofmorality. Although professional actors (judges) already have the code of professional conduct of judgesas moral standards, it has not been a positive impact, especially not able to change the image of societyto face justice for the better. Existing code of ethics is not providing value in favor of the realization ofthe purpose of the law, so it needs to be reviewed or revised to suit the changing situation. One way toenforce the rule of law is to enforce ethics, professionalism, and discipline. The values contained in thecode of professional conduct of judges in an ethical standpoint of Islamic law is very important to bestudied. Professional ethics of judges in principle contain moral values underlying professional personality,namely freedom, fairness and honesty. Professional ethics of judges and law is a unity that isinherently contained ethical values of Islam which is the foundation of understanding the Islamic law,so basically the code of professional conduct of judges in line with the values of the Islamic ethicalsystem. Islamic legal ethics built on four basic values which are the values of truth, justice, free will andresponsibility.
