Professional ethics. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, July 2009, Pages: 216
IT professionals work in an environment which is
under continual innovation, exerts a global influence
and yet is relatively young. In such a context, how
can professionals be effectively supported in their
ethical practice? IT professional ethics has
predominantly focussed on external standards or
internal reasoning. However, attention also has to be
paid to professionals’ experience of ethics, which
influences how they interpret standards and construct
reasoning. A comprehensive experience of ethics will
embrace the professional’s inner circle, their
employer, their client and humanity. In order to
promote such a comprehensive view, we need to
re-conceptualise a) the IT discipline, focussing on
information users; b) professional ethics, adopting
other-centred attitudes; and c) professional
development, pursuing a change in lived experience.
This book is written for those interested in
professional ethics (practitioners, educators,
professional bodies and employers), especially in the
computing field.
