Supply and Demand in the Development of Coaching Professional Ethics

While all business and service providers should be guided by general ethical obligations, some—professions—possess special ethical codes, supported and/or enforced by professional associations. How do professions differ from other service providers, such that their services both require, and can deliver, high ethical standards? Previous research has explored the development of professional ethics through an examination of demand-side factors (the various stakeholders whose needs drive them to demand high ethical standards of service providers) and supply-side factors (the motivational structures that empower service providers to conscientiously live up to those high ethical standards). This paper applies this framework to explore the need for special ethical standards for coaches, and the social and psychological resources coaches have for delivering on those standards.

Promoting Ethics And Morality In Education For Equality, Diversity And Inclusivity

Ethics is properly defined as the discipline concerned with what is good and wrong in terms of moral duty and obligation. Ethics education is necessary in the curriculum to help students deal with ethical dilemmas in professional practice and life. The ethical codes and student’s perceptions of these codes have an impact on how they perceive, maintain and act in accordance with the ethical standards set at their workplace or school. Moral values are a set of valuable principles that assist us in becoming better human beings. These values include a variety of aspects such as morality, respect for others, helping others, loving others and so on. Social, aesthetic, cognitive, spiritual, economic, religious, health, political, environmental and cultural values are among the several forms of moral values. Information about these values enables individuals to make a meaningful contribution to the community and nation's well-being, as well as to develop into moral and ethical human beings. Human values and human rights, professional integrity, respect and equality, privacy, building of trusting relationships, creating and participating in a culture of positive cooperation, respecting the competence of other professions, taking initiative, promoting an open culture and displaying loyalty towards goals and objectives are some of the factors that lead to the development of professional ethics. Moral standards can be improved through education, especially among students. Education, in my opinion, is the most effective means of instilling moral ideals in individuals. Student’s emotional intelligence will be influenced by their moral ideals. As a result, moral values and ethics education is critical in our schooling. Moral and ethical values education will result in a society that is more egalitarian, diverse and inclusive.

A Conversation between Confucian Ethics and the NASW Code of Ethics in the Chinese context

Abstract Recent years have witnessed a growing scholarly interest in the development of professional ethics of social work in China. Confucian ethics is believed to be able to contribute to such development. This article explores Confucian ethics and its interaction with western ethics that underpins the United States’ National Association of Social Workers Code of Ethics. Particularly, it compares the two cultural contexts, western versus eastern, in terms of the ethical deliberation of two elements of Confucian ethics: Chinese people are embedded in a framework of complex relationality, and practical situations take precedence over abstract moral rules (action/practice-oriented situationality). This exploration can provide insight into the Chinese moral context of social work practice and the complex issues associated with formulating Chinese ethical guidelines for such a discipline adapted from the west as social work.

Professional ethics – An approach through value education

Profession is not only the means to earn one’s livelihood but also the means of one’s evolution by appropriate participation in the larger order. Through professional education, one acquires the specific knowledge and skills to make contributions beneficial to the living as well as non-living beings. The contradictions and dilemmas in profession exist due to the prevailing world view, in which wealth maximization is perceived to be prime objective.

Factors affecting professional ethics development in students: A qualitative study

Ethics development is one of the most important aspects of professional practice in health sciences students. Understanding factors affecting ethics development can enhance clinical and professional performance in students. This study was conducted to explore students' perceptions about factors affecting professional ethics development. This study is a conventional content analysis. Data were collected through 20 semi-structured interviews and two focus group interviews (12 students) during 2017-2018. Data were analyzed concurrently with data gathering, using the conventional content analysis approach of Graneheim and Lundman. In total, 8 students of nursing, 5 medical students, 4 students of anesthesia and 3 operating room students in individual interviews, and 12 students in two focus group interviews from one university in the south of Iran were selected through purposive sampling. The research was approved by the Ethics Committee of one university in the south of Iran. The findings revealed two themes: personal and background factors. Personal factors consisted of the two categories of individual motivation and tendencies and interpersonal interactions. Background factors consisted of the two categories of role and function of teachers and environmental agents. According to the findings, both background and individual factors affect development of professional ethics in students. Understanding these factors along with reinforcement of educational planning in this field can improve healthcare services.

Qualitative Explanation of the Effect of Changes in the Educational System on the Development of Professionalism in Medical Residents

Background The development of professionalism is one of the fundamental goals of educational systems, especially in medical sciences. Medical students, in addition to acquiring clinical knowledge and skills, should somehow benefit from moral values and professionalism in order to practice in a professional manner.

Cost-Sharing in Civil Justice

As an economic factor affecting access to justice, the cost of justice naturally constitutes an element of judicial reform. It is the overall deconstruction of the cost of civil justice, rather than partial observation and analysis confined to litigation costs, that can legitimize the sharing of court and litigation costs and clarify the demarcation between public and private costs. This first-order rule of cost-sharing is intended to establish a balance between the state’s investment of public resources in the judicial system and the costs borne by the litigant. The second-order rule of cost-sharing centers on the distribution of litigation costs among litigants. This requires not only the setting up of the goal of just and equitable sharing of litigation costs, but also the overall consideration of the adjustment function of the cost mechanism in litigation and pursuit of the general improvement of the justice system. The third-order cost-sharing rule should focus on giving full play to the legal services market and social organizations in sharing the cost of litigation. Its success will depend on the development of professional ethics and on legal regulation.

Examining the Role of Organizational Virtue in Professional Ethics Augmentation

As a new branch of ethics, professional ethics seeks to respond to the ethical issues of various professions. Today, professional ethics has a strategic role in businesses, and strategic management specialists have identified appropriate ethical principles in an organization as a precondition for a quality strategic management. Professional ethics is the most important tool of business and administrative activities, but unfortunately in our religious community, there is no respect for professional ethics in the workplace. Organizational virtues which refer to the qualified behavior of organization members can play an important role in displaying the professional ethics. So, this study examines the role of organizational virtue in the development of professional ethics of Maskan Bank staff in Ardabil. To this end, organizational virtue was examined in five categories including optimism, trust, compassion, integrity, and forgiveness. Professional ethics was examined in eight dimensions of accountability, virtue and competitiveness, honesty, respect for others, respect towards social values and norms, justice, compassion for others, and loyalty. This applied study is a descriptive-survey research using a questionnaire. The sample included 118 employees of Maskan Bank of Ardabil. Data analysis was performed using Pearson and multivariate regression analysis. The results indicated that organizational virtue had a significant positive effect on the staff’s professional ethics. Optimism had the highest impact on the professional ethics of the staff and the least significance was related to forgiveness.

Teaching anti-corruption in the caucasus and black sea region(s)

There is hardly a topic in the current transformations that is as central as corruption. Anti-corruption efforts go back to the nineties when globalisation turned the world into a corporate playing field. Since then, a wealth of tools and instruments has been invented, and any student of anti-corruption can be certain to find abundant materials. From a teacher’s perspective, turning these materials into a coherent academic subject is the first challenge. But anti-corruption is not a subject like any other. If taught properly, it should challenge every student’s moral compass and become a catalyst for the development of professional ethics. Anybody who has ever been forced to pay bribes in a university setting will remember «turning red with shame». Bribing your teacher, as compared to a traffic police or customs officer, seems like the ultimate betrayal of the notion of the intellectual community between scholar/teacher and student, and it throws into doubt the entire system of values and goals that higher education stands for. In its effect, it is as pernicious as doping in sports. And when the shame is overcome, the result will be a graduate who is «street-wise», who is ready to play the game and expect nothing less from his or her colleagues. Against this background, the purpose of this paper is twofold. It serves as a reflection on the state of anti-corruption efforts in the Black Sea and Caucasus region(s) and suggests a model how electronic resources could become a catalyst in bringing blended learning/teaching on anti-corruption to the region(s). At the same time, it develops the scholarly argument that the «toolkit box approach» favoured by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) is not sufficient to address the root causes of corruption in the region(s). As an alternative and to the extent that it concerns the Black Sea and Caucasus region(s), it is suggested to place anti-corruption more firmly into the context of Europeanisation as part of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) and the Eastern Partnership (EaP), in particular. As such, it should be integrally linked to the support of civil society, independent media, independence and integrity of the judiciary, and open government.

Different motivations, similar proposals: objectivity in scientific community and democratic science policy

The aim of the paper is to discuss some possible connections between philosophical proposals about the social organisation of science and developments towards a greater democratisation of science policy. I suggest that there are important similarities between one approach to objectivity in philosophy of science—Helen Longino’s account of objectivity as freedom from individual biases achieved through interaction of a variety of perspectives—and some ideas about the epistemic benefits of wider representation of various groups’ perspectives in science policy, as analysed by Mark Brown. Given these similarities, I suggest that they allow one to approach developments in science policy as if one of their aims were epistemic improvement that can be recommended on the basis of the philosophical account; analyses of political developments inspired by these ideas about the benefits of inclusive dialogue can then be used for understanding the possibility to implement a philosophical proposal for improving the objectivity of science in practice. Outlining this suggestion, I also discuss the possibility of important differences between the developments in the two spheres and show how the concern about the possible divergence of politically motivated and epistemically motivated changes may be mitigated. In order to substantiate further the suggestion I make, I discuss one example of a development where politically motivated and epistemically motivated changes converge in practice—the development of professional ethics in American archaeology as analysed by Alison Wylie. I suggest that analysing such specific developments and getting involved with them can be one of the tasks for philosophy of science. In the concluding part of the paper I discuss how this approach to philosophy of science is related to a number of arguments about a more politically relevant philosophy of science.
