Highlights
In today’s society, the basic demands placed on man are efficiency, flexibility, competitiveness, availability, the ability to work, etc
If we follow the title of this article we have to ask about the required level of moral consciousness and the moral practice of such a worker, about the moral integrity and about the character of his work.[1]
We will pay special attention to the impulses contained in the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Amoris laetitia (2016)
Summary
In today’s society (based on one’s performance), the basic demands placed on man are efficiency, flexibility, competitiveness, availability, the ability to work, etc. While we can rightly call for measurable results or performance here, we cannot prefer quantity over quality in this case It comes from the basic assumption of work ethics in the helping professions, which is respect for human dignity. If we follow the title of this article (the worker in the helping professions – a unique person, a professional, a worker) we have to ask about the required level of moral consciousness and the moral practice of such a worker, about the moral integrity and about the character of his work.[1] Ideally, a worker in the helping professions is an advanced moral person, a professional and a labourer who is not afraid of the required workload It would be problematic if (from the position outlined above) only one of these aspects were taken into account, and the others would not be sufficiently reflected or even deliberately overlooked. We will pay special attention to the impulses contained in the apostolic exhortation of Pope Francis Amoris laetitia (2016)
