    ECO-31 LESSON 11: ETHICS AND VALUES

    DEFINITION:

     Ethics refers to the guidelines for conduct, that address questions of morality. 
     Value provides the principles and ideals upon which judgement is made of what is more
    important.
    What are Professional Ethics and Values

     Professional values and ethics are beliefs and principles that an individual possesses to guide
    oneself to evaluate what is right and wrong in a professional environment. In short, it is the
    imaginary moral line that one would have internally to uphold professional actions.
     The actual standards for professional values and ethics may differ depending on many factors
    including one’s culture, religion, beliefs. Often the standards are based on society’s accepted
    beliefs and principles (the norm behaviors) in which people would accept to live and work in
    harmony with one another.
    Do You Possess Professional Values and Ethics?
    Although professional values may differ depending on the profession, there are some universal
    values that we all should possess and practice to be literate in professional values and ethics.

     Understanding Roles and Responsibilities  Be accountable for your own actions


     An ethical Person  Self-Regulation
     Understand and Respect other professionals  Uphold professional integrity
    Why Professional Values and Ethics Important?
    Professional values and ethics are important because they are considered as the guideline and
    motivation of professional behavior. They are “standards for action that are accepted by
    professional groups and individuals, and are used to evaluate the integrity of the individual or
    organization” (Poorchangizi et al., 2017). There are a range of benefits for promoting professional
    values in different levels:
    Personal Level
    Professional values and ethics guide one to make ethical decisions and to behave in an ethical
    manner, which can have a positive impact on our personal growth as well as on the quality of life
    for our surrounding community. They also reinforce individuals’ professional identity and
    performance, thus increasing their confidence to work in an organization.
    Business Level
    Professional values and ethics can provide a positive image for an organization for clients,
    competitors and the public. They can provide a common understanding of acceptable practice
    which makes the organization more reliable. By providing the standards of appropriate behaviour,
    they also help build friendly and respectful work environment as misunderstandings among
    employees can be reduced.
    Public Level
    Professional values and ethics build confidence in the professions’ trustworthiness by providing a
    common understanding of acceptable practice. They also provide greater transparency to clients
    and members of the society when the codes of conduct are disclosed publicly.
