This book was released on 2008-12-18 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Work as center of life has such an important role in our lives; it bears a standard by which we measure our success. It is a major component of self-actualization and well-being. Professional life offers the hope of rewarding work, not just financially but work that is fulfilling. However, professions are also riddled with complexities and ethical conflicts that obstruct the goal of meaningful work. Our jobs are fraught with moral ambiguities and dilemmas; these become sources of frustration and alienation. What is needed is a transformation, a renewal of our professional lives and the institutional contexts in which we operate, to humanize the alienating aspects of work and professions. Thomas Merton (1915-1968), though a cloistered monk, wrote extensively on spiritual and social issues. He has been called "a spiritual master" for contemporary times. He possessed an uncanny sense of self-awareness and moral imagination. His life and writings have inspired countless persons on life’s spiritual journey. Yet, while people have looked to Merton for guidance on spiritual issues, the implications of his thought for several other areas of life are open to exploration. This book focuses on the significance of his reflections in Conjectures of a Guilty Bystander, which offer one the confidence to embark on a journey that seeks to transcend the complexities of professional life, and courage to transform the negative features of workplaces and organizations through reasoned moral action, moral imagination, and leadership.

Book Synopsis Professional Ethics and Personal Integrity by : Tim Dare
Download or read book Professional Ethics and Personal Integrity written by Tim Dare and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional roles are often thought to bring role-specific permissions and obligation, which may allow or require role-occupants to do things they would not be permitted or required to do outside their roles, and which as individuals they would rather not do. This feature of professional roles appears to bring them into conflict both with ‘ordinary’ or non-role morality, and with personal integrity which is often thought to demand some form of personal endorsement of one’s conduct. How are we to reconcile the demands of roles with ordinary morality and with personal integrity? This collection draws together a set of papers which explore these questions as they bear upon a number of different professional roles, including those of the lawyer, the judge and the politician, and from a variety of perspectives, including contemporary analytic moral theory, jurisprudence, psychoanalytic theory, virtue ethics, and contextualism, and, more broadly, from philosophy and legal academia and practice.
Book Synopsis Ethics and Professionalism by : John H. Kultgen
Download or read book Ethics and Professionalism written by John H. Kultgen and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the relationship between morality and professional ideals, Kultgen examines the structure and organization of occupations and the ideals and ideology associated with professions. He argues that professionalization of occupations can both harm and benefit society, and that by converting occupations into organized special interest groups, the professions serve some sectors of society at the expense of others. On the other hand, he highlights the positive points of the professional ideal and explores ways in which it can be used to advance the physical and moral welfare of society. Kultgen also shows how it is the practices within the professions that determine whether rules and ideals are used as masks for self-interest or for genuinely moral purposes.

Book Synopsis A Theory of Mediators' Ethics by : Omer Shapira
Download or read book A Theory of Mediators' Ethics written by Omer Shapira and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2016-03-14 with total page 499 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many aspects relating to the conduct of mediation are left to mediator choice, but mediators often lack adequate guidance on how their discretion ought to be exercised. In this book, Omer Shapira identifies the ethical norms that govern mediators' conduct. Adopting a professional ethics perspective on the basis of role-morality and applying it to a core definition of mediators' role, Shapira argues that all mediators are placed in ethical relationships with mediation parties, the mediation profession, the public and their employers. or principals that produce ethical obligations. The book goes on to explore the legitimate expectations of these groups and analyzes existing codes of conduct for mediators. Shapira constructs a theory of mediators' ethics that produces a proposed model code of conduct for mediators - a detailed set of norms of mediators' ethics that can be rationally justified and defended with regard to mediators at large.

Part One provides a thorough introduction to moral concepts, theories, and forms of reasoning--for students with little or no background in ethics.

Book Synopsis On the Professional Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the Workplace by : Richard G Lowe Jr
Download or read book On the Professional Code of Ethics and Business Conduct in the Workplace written by Richard G Lowe Jr and published by . This book was released on 2016-11-24 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Success on the job can be a mystery; sometimes it appears that there's no way to get ahead except for random chance or familial connections, or, worse yet, brown-nosing the boss. It is annoying to know and to see someone who doesn't deserve a promotion move up the ladder quickly while you are lucky if you get standard cost-of-living raises. On the other side of the fence, being the boss might seem like heaven on earth, but it's really not all that it's cracked up to be. Believe it or not, most people who hold the position of boss, or even such esteemed titles as CEO, CFO, or COO, have just as many or even more insecurities and problems as you. In fact, because the boss handles more than just himself, his problems are magnified by all of the people on the team, plus the people on adjoining teams. I found during my 35 years in the workplace that the things that always tripped me up had nothing to do with the technology or the information that I was working with. Technology and information can always be handled with learning, classes, or even consultants. The problem comes from patterns of behavior that are destructive, or at the very least don't help. For example, sarcasm is one of these behavioral quirks that many people think is funny and useful. While arguably there may be some value in sarcasm, it has no valid place in the office at all. Email etiquette is another one of those things that trip up people in the workplace all the time. Someone might think a slightly off-color joke is funny and send it out to everyone in the office. That's always a mistake--sometimes a career-ending one. The purpose of this book is to help fill that gap of knowledge about what is appropriate and acceptable in the workplace, for both the boss and the subordinate.
Book Synopsis Profession, Code, and Ethics by : Michael Davis
Download or read book Profession, Code, and Ethics written by Michael Davis and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a systematic analysis of professions, emphasizing not special knowledge but special obligations. Presenting a theory of professions which explains the moral authority of professional codes, this book presents an invaluable combination of systematic theory with detailed consideration of specific questions of professional ethics. Three 'professions' are chosen for comparison - lawyering, engineering and policing. Both lawyering and engineering are examined as professions in being. Davis explores what police have to do to turn their honest occupation into a profession like law or engineering, arguing that what the police lack is not education (as sociologists would propose) but a set of standards beyond that which law, market, and morality demand, to which they are willing to commit themselves .
Book Synopsis Balance and Control by : Marvin Dixon
Download or read book Balance and Control written by Marvin Dixon and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-09-10 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Balance and Control: On Personal and Professional Morality and Ethics was taken, in large measure, from the Parent Book, Balance and Control: A Guide to Managing Human Beings by Understanding Human Nature and Human Interactions. Here, the author walks the reader through many of the challenges we have to confront daily in our day-to-day lives as we try to do what we know to be "right". The author has taken the position that as a species; we are aspirational and are always struggling to reach a higher level of human existence and to move closer to our Ideal Image (a product of the Super Ego). He provides a number of examples to show how we live in a society made up of rules, laws, and norms that go unchallenged and unexamined but are just accepted by the masses. And, because we tend to live within the laws, norms, and rules for the better part of our lives, we seldom have to decide good over evil or right and wrong on our own. But when the decision is ours, and we find ourselves either morally or ethically opposed to social dictates and norms, we put ourselves at risk. The author provides familiar examples where the decision is yours to make and demonstrates how internal forces (greed and vengeance) and external forces (fear and intimidation, as well as social expectations (Group Think)) colors your reasoning process. He makes no attempt to provide moral or ethical guidance but describes the environment and the forces at work; decisions are left to you. And because your perceptions of what it means to be moral and what it means to be ethical are constantly evolving - as you mature - you will inevitably find yourself at odds with others in society, and when you do, and in far too many cases, you will subject yourself to the sanctions in that hierarchy. But regardless of how you decide these matters, there will always be sanctions; either from society or the psychological sanctions from your own conscious mind. The contents of this book should go a long way in helping you find your own path forward when deciding moral and ethical issues.

Book Synopsis Professionals ́ Perspectives of Corporate Social Responsibility by : Samuel O Idowu
Download or read book Professionals ́ Perspectives of Corporate Social Responsibility written by Samuel O Idowu and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-10-21 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the general acceptance of the field of corporate social responsibility worldwide, corporate entities and those who act for them either as executives or "ordinary" employees are expected to be socially responsible. Being socially responsible has a number of quantifiable and unquantifiable benefits for the entity and its stakeholders. It improves the entity’s bottom line results, protects jobs, and is also better for the environment. As such, it makes good sense for professionals and those that they interact with as colleagues, suppliers of goods and services, lenders etc to want to take the issue of CSR seriously. This perhaps explains why this book has chosen to explore how 19 professions across the world have integrated and continue to impress upon their staff the importance of CSR in their operational activities. We are constantly reminded that our world’s natural resources are exhaustible; we can therefore no longer live for today alone if we do not want to cause substantial problems for future generations.
