Professional Ethics
The ability to effectively articulate high levels of professionalism in an organization is a key determinant in establishing the best cultures that anchor high degree of productivity and profitability.
Professional ethics based on ethical theories and principles in organizations dictate the manner in which internal and external relations are employed and coordinated.
Client confidence
Quite a number of organizations and employees globally often fail to achieve their maximal potential and lose client confidence due to negative implications associated with poor ethics.
In particular, the case study on unlicensed engineer emphasizes professional ethics as the driving force towards achieving the best organizational outcomes.
The latter is critical at all levels.
Charles Landers Case study
The case against Charles Landers who was a former employee of Constructing engineers and also an Anchorage assemblyman draws attention to the problem of lack of professionalism.
He is accused of falsificating documents and hence, he eventually assumed the role of his partner Henry Wilson by forging his signature. One of the key observable considerations in the case against Landers is the fact that there is lack of significant levels of ethical standards.
Even though the need to be professional in business is anchored on the demand for good relationship with clients, Landers failed in two major levels.
Partner’s profession
He acted maliciously towards his partner’s profession. It is extremely important to differentiate the Ethics of Morality and Law. These three areas of knowledge are distinguished, but have great links and even overlap.
Both morality and law are based on rules intended to establish a measure of predictability for human actions. However, both are different.
Moral Rules
The moral rules are assumed by a person in order to live well.
The law seeks to establish specified society by state borders. The laws have a territorial base and are applied only to that geographical area where a particular population or their delegates live.
Some authors claim that the law is a subset of morals. This approach can generate the conclusion that the whole law is morally acceptable. Numerous situations demonstrate the existence of conflicts between moral and the law. In addition, civil disobedience occurs when moral arguments prevent a person from abiding by a certain law. This is an example of a moral and the law.
Although they deal with the same company, they may have differing perspectives.
Company’s Interests
While he appeared to be concerned with the best interest of the company’s clients since it is the most critical factor in the operation of organizations, he forgot that the relationship between him and his partner was very crucial.
He decides to save the situation as an act of goodwill by signing documents that were being required urgently. Although he tried to be sincere, his action lacked the proof of truth.
Virtue theories
According to the virtue theories, employers, partners and employees are supposed to adhere to high levels of virtues as a platform for character development and assimilation of desired habits in an organization.
Acting maliciously against ones profession is clearly evident in the study. It is imperative to note that remarkable growth can only be attained as a result of high moral standards in a business internal operation.
Communication system
Constructing Engineers communication system should be very effective in addressing any emerging issues. These include dealing with urgent needs, approving and recommending transaction issues.
Besides, there is need to generate great identity and licensing for partners in the company.
Its governance should be built based on responsibility and accountability at all levels of management.
Therefore, their operations are highly personalized, a consideration that has resulted into inherent commitment, higher levels of respect and professionalism.
