  • Abstract:
  • Ethics is defined as the study of individual and collective moral awareness, judgment, character and conduct. Professionally accepted standards of personal and professional behaviour, values and guiding principles. Ethics deal with “what that ought to be”. Codes of professional ethics are often established by professional organizations to help to guide members in performing their job functions according to sound and consistent ethical principles. The philosophy of having professional ethics is to make the persons performing in such jobs to follow the sound, uniform ethical conduct. Some of the important components of professional ethics that professional organizations necessarily include in their code of conduct are integrity, honesty, transparency, respectfulness towards the job, confidentiality, objectivity etc. Values are in inborn within individuals – embedded in individuals. Values differ amongst individuals. Individual values do change temporarily due to external influences/forces. Values reflect a person’s sense of right or wrong. Values lay the foundation in understanding people’s attitude and motivation. Values are what we, as a profession, judge to be right. The main purpose of this research paper is to explore importance of ethical values and professional ethics in today’s globalized world of high competition and to create awareness about concept and essence of ethical values and professional ethics for sustainable progress this globalized world.
