Professional Guidelines

Bioethics, clinical ethics, and professional ethics are mature, well-developed fields of applied ethics that focus on medical research, patient autonomy and patient care, patient–healthcare professional relationships, and issues that arise in clinical and other medical settings. However, despite these developments, little attention has been paid to the organizational aspects of healthcare in these fields. This is surprising, because in the last 30 years healthcare has become more and more institutionalized in provider, management, and insurer organizations. Despite JCAHO's preoccupation with organizational ethics during the last decade, the philosophical underpinnings of their requirements have been less explored in the literature. Clinical ethics remains preoccupied with clinical patient care and professional ethics with individual professional guidelines; even the American College of Healthcare Executives focuses primarily on healthcare managers, not on healthcare organizations.

Canadian Research

Academic researchers are the major actors in the scholarly communication system and, as such, it is extremely important that any research being conducted in this area be guided by their needs. This study assembles a diverse panel of Canadian academic researchers in order to define a research strategy for the dissemination of scholarly knowledge in Canada that is defined by relevance to the research community. The major research question addressed here is the nature of a research agenda for the dissemination of scholarly research in Canada. These results so far reflect a substantially different approach to defining a research agenda for the dissemination of scholarly research than those outlined in the past.Les chercheurs académiques sont les acteurs principaux du système de communication universitaire et en tant que tel, il est extrêmement important que toute recherche poursuivie dans ce domaine soit guidée par leurs besoins. Cette étude rassemble un groupe de chercheurs universitaires canadiens dans le but de définir une stratégie de recherche pour la diffusion des connaissances académiques canadiennes et qui sera considérée comme pertinente par le milieu de la recherche. La principale question de recherche soulevée ici est la nature de l’agenda de recherche pour la diffusion de la recherche universitaire au Canada. Jusqu’à présent, ces résultats reflètent une approche considérablement différente pour définir un agenda de recherche pour la diffusion de la recherche académique par rapport aux agendas produits dans le passé.

Subsequent Discussion

This chapter introduces professional ethics as a specific example of applied or practical ethics. The authors provide a short review of the literature on theoretical and applied ethics in order to give context for the subsequent discussion. They examine three foundational concepts of professional ethics: codes adopted by professional bodies, professional autonomy, and the contested role of gatekeeper. Next, the authors consider ethical pressures experienced by professionals in the non-professional organization (NPO), and then the Professional Service Firm (PSF). Here the authors compare the pressure exerted by employer and clients and examine how so-called “client capture” can become a complex phenomenon when both client and professional are corporate entities. Finally, the chapter considers the challenges for the study of ethics in the PSF highlighted by this account.

Society Today

Business ethics courses have been launched with professors from business pulling on one oar, and professors of philosophy pulling on the other, but they lack a sense of direction. Let's begin with the basics: What is an ehtical decision? More fundamentally, why the interest in professional ethics in the first place?There are over 300 centers for the study of applied ethics in this country—why? The events which face our society today (income and wealth disparity, environmental degradation, etc.) are outside the business-oriented collection of shared beliefs that set our public policy agenda. Our beliefs are too narrow, thus we see, understand, and control small slices of life.Business ethics should be the study of the structure and impact on us of what we call “business science,” e.g., accounting, marketing, economics, law, etc., and the corresponding study of the process of what Carl Jung called individuation: learning to become one's own unique self in the face of these bodies of professional knowledge which have structured our lives and charted the direction for our sensibilities for too long.

Current Production

In this article the author considers a recent proposal to understand ?military ethics? as a species of the genus ?professional ethics?. This contention is rejected on the grounds that ?professional ethics? are not a matter of ethics but policy, and it is argued that ?military ethics? properly belongs to applied ethics, as a branch of moral philosophy instead. The article proceeds by offering an account of the notion of ?reflexivity in normativity? in order to argue against the practice of using ?just war? theory as a moral doctrine. A distinct feature of the current production in military ethics by Western scholars and publicists is their reliance on ?just war? theory. Two considerations are offered aimed at ending this practice. First, the author uses Pierre Bourdieu?s distinction between ?activism in scholarship? and ?activism with scholarship? to demonstrate that the post- Cold War uses of the ?just war? theory could amount only to pseudo-scholarship. Second, and most disturbing, the author shows how this practice has two unsettling consequences: regarding the ad bellum (moral) justice, it leads to the decriminalization of aggression, the supreme crime in international law; and regarding the in bello (moral) justice to the decriminalization of actual war crimes committed by the ?good guys?.

Angewandte Ethik

In der Studie «Der Bekanntheitsgrad berufsethischer Grundregeln innerhalb der Berufsgruppe der Pflegenden»1 wird die Kodifizierung berufsethischer Normen als eine zu durchlaufende Stufe zu einer eigenständigen Pflegeethik verstanden. Bei der im Rahmen der Studie durchgeführten Befragung finden die Autoren/-innen heraus, dass der Bekanntheitsgrad in Deutschland unzureichend ist. Daraus wird die Schlussfolgerung gezogen, dass die Krankenpflege in Deutschland diese Stufe einer eigenständigen Pflegeethik noch nicht erklommen hat. Dies und der bei der Befragung deutlich gewordene Wunsch nach mehr Informationen veranlasst die Autoren/-innen zu fordern, dass in der Aus- und Fortbildung bessere Angebote bezüglich berufsethischer Normen gemacht werden sollten. Pflegeethik – was auch immer konkret darunter zu verstehen ist – ist eine angewandte Ethik. Im Folgenden werden in einem ersten Schritt der Begriff «Ethik» definiert und die Besonderheiten dargelegt, die in der heutigen Zeit hinsichtlich dieses Begriffes zu bedenken sind. In einem zweiten Schritt wird danach gefragt, was vor diesem Hintergrund eine angewandte Ethik sein kann, um dann schließlich in einem dritten Schritt zu bedenken, was berufsethische Normen sind, wie und warum sie zustande kommen sowie welche Bedeutung und Relevanz sie für eine entsprechende angewandte Ethik haben können.

The paper describes the development of the 1998 revision of the Psychological Society of Ireland's Code of Professional Ethics. The Code incorporates the European Meta-Code of Ethics and an ethical decision-making procedure borrowed from the Canadian Psychological Association. An example using the procedure is presented. To aid decision making, a classification of different kinds of stakeholder (i.e., interested party) affected by ethical decisions is offered. The author contends (1) that psychologists should assert the right, which is an important aspect of professional autonomy, to make discretionary judgments, (2) that to be justified in doing so they need to educate themselves in sound and deliberative judgment, and (3) that the process is facilitated by a code such as the Irish one, which emphasizes ethical awareness and decision making. The need for awareness and judgment is underlined by the variability in the ethical codes of different organizations and different European states: in such a context, codes should be used as broad yardsticks, rather than precise templates.
