Importance Of Professional Ethics Research Articles

The War for Women’s Peace Archives at the New York Public Library: An Examination of Conflict in Curation and Stewardship

Archivists and donors often experience conflict when promises made during the acquisition process are vaguely defined or do not match expectations. What is the long-term impact of this conflict? And what are the best ways of navigating such conflict? This article takes as a case study the acquisition and stewardship of the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection at the New York Public Library’s Manuscripts and Archives Division, beginning in 1940. This article explores how promises made by NYPL and expectations set by donors and upheld by collection consultant Edith Wynner impacted researcher access to the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection both before and after its opening. Struggles over the Schwimmer-Lloyd Collection provided many lessons to NYPL archivists and administrators, and in the present day these lessons serve as poignant reminders about the importance of professional ethics and core values, namely responsible stewardship.

Analysis of the main requirements to the ethical behavior of civil servants in Ukraine: legal aspects

У статті аналізуються нормативно-правові акти, що визначають основні вимоги до етичної поведінки державних службовців в Україні. Зазначено, що самого лише визнання вагомості професійної етики недостатньо. Одним з дієвих заходів підвищення авторитету державної служби в суспільстві, протидії корупції та підвищення культури управління є законодавче врегулювання питань професійної етики державної служби. Визначено, що етичні засади державної служби України закріплюються в багатьох нормативно-правових актах України, зокрема, значну увагу в статті приділено розгляду Закону України «Про державну службу», «Про запобігання корупції», Постанові Кабінету Міністрів України «Про затвердження правил етичної поведінки державних службовців» та Наказу Національного агентства України з питань державної служби «Про затвердження Загальних правил етичної поведінки державних службовців та посадових осіб місцевого самоврядування». На основі аналізу визначено, що на рівні нормативно-правових документів практично неможливо скласти вичерпний перелік правил поведінки державних службовців. Отже, найкращою гарантією запобігання зловживанням владою, корупції й іншим службово-етичним порушенням є особисті достоїнства та високі моральні якості службовця і, насамперед, професійна честь та обов’язок.

Improving Student Engagement in the Study of Professional Ethics: Concepts and an Example in Cyber Security

In spite of the acknowledged importance of professional ethics, technical students often show little enthusiasm for studying the subject. This paper considers how such engagement might be improved. Four guiding principles for promoting engagement are identified: (1) aligning teaching content with student interests; (2) taking a pragmatic rather than a philosophical approach to issue resolution; (3) addressing the full complexity of real-world case studies; and (4) covering content in a way that students find entertaining. The use of these principles is then discussed with respect to the specific experience of developing and presenting a master’s module in Ethical and Legal Issues in Cyber Security at Queens University Belfast. One significant aspect of the resulting design is that it encourages students to see ethical issues in systemic terms rather than from an individual perspective, with issues emerging from a conflict between different groups with different vested interests. Case studies are used to examine how personal and business priorities create conflicts that can lead to negative press, fines and punitive legal action. The module explores the reasons why organisations may be unaware of the risks associated with their actions and how an inappropriate response to an ethical issue can significantly aggravate a situation. The module has been delivered in three successive years since 2014 and been well received on each occasion. The paper describes the design of the module and the experience of delivering it, concluding with a discussion of the effectiveness of the approach.

Ethics in the Accounting Curriculum

The number of corporate debacles in recent history has been a great concern to the financial community. From Enron to Bear Stearns, the events have highlighted that greed, incompetence, and deception exist systemically. After these and other similar events, the importance of professional ethics was intensified. Has the concern for improved ethical behavior compelled academic institutions to provide greater emphasis on ethics in accounting degree programs? Several findings emerged in this study. First, ethics is more commonly part of the course description than it is to be part of the course title. Second, there is greater emphasis on ethics in undergraduate education than in graduate education. The findings indicate that the extent to which ethics is included in course descriptions is extremely inconsistent and variable across academic levels and geographical regions. Finally, standalone ethics courses are less common than integration of ethics into one or more courses at both levels and for all geographic regions.
