Professional Ethics and National Association of Social Workers

Danovitch (2013) also in his article regards professional ethics as a set of laws relevant to different professionals and established by the professional members of such a professional organization. Good professional ethics is worth put into consideration by any individual as it is a central part in the success of a business, organization or personal achievements. Ethics alone to break down is a structure of good values governing the proper conduct of an individual or a group, maintaining good ethical values is being steady with the principles of proper moral conduct persistently. The major role of ethics in any society is to classify suitable human behavior in realizing the kind of actions, consequences and limits of human actions as well as their adequacy. Ethics do play a critical role especially in shaping the individual’s behavior within a society and therefore is an important virtue in any society.

An employee may demonstrate an appropriate behavior outside regular working hours in a way which may benefit the employer for instance by routinely reading and responding to work emails as well as making work-related calls outside of the office. However, there is no single law which puts into consideration an employer’s rights in conjunction with employee’s conduct outside the their workplaces and therefore the employee must be careful when taking part in this and request for compensation from the employer if possible for the spend work time which benefits the employer (Schwartz, M. S. This has been one of the major areas of scrutiny in the ethical point of view. Additionally, other appropriate conduct outside the workplace includes showing high levels of discipline, honesty, not harassing co-workers and also not disclosing their organization’s secrets anyhow.

On the other hand, good conduct and excellent ethical decisions have a positive value and good performance of the employee. Workers who feel practicing proper ethical values and adhering to the set rules and regulations will not stir them at the top of the organization sometimes feel unmotivated which finally leads to a poor performance (Beeri 2013). It is therefore of great importance to make best ethical decisions not only at the workplaces but also in the society at large because failure to which does more harm than gain. Additionally, poor ethical decisions may make one to face severe legal actions that may result in deaths of people, huge court fines and penalties with sometimes possible jail of the culprit. It can also result in a decrease in the productivity levels, loss of respect by employees to their boss as well as the organization losing its public credibility.
