CONCEPT AND DEVELOPMENT OF PROFESSIONAL ETHICS

1.1. Definition of Professional Ethics

Professional ethics can generally be defined as an established set of principles that guide how a professional interacts with clients, fellow professionals, and the wider community. Most professional fields today have their own codes of conduct.

Professional ethics is an essential part of a working professional's life. It fosters trust and reliability, cultivates integrity, promotes professionalism, encourages personal and professional development, and ensures compliance with laws and regulations.

At its core, professional ethics is concerned with the establishment of values, principles, and standards that underpin a profession's duties and conduct (Davis, 2003). To understand what a profession entails, it is helpful to compare it with the term "professional."
