As commonly understood, professional ethics consists of shared duties and episodic dilemmas--the responsibilities incumbent on all members of specific professions joined together with the dilemmas that arise when these responsibilities conflict. Martin challenges this "consensus paradigm" as he rethinks professional ethics to include personal commitments and ideals, of which many are not mandatory. Using specific examples from a wide range of professions, including medicine, law, high school teaching, journalism, engineering, and ministry, he explores how personal commitments motivate, guide, and give meaning to work.

Excellent,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Meaningful Work: Rethinking Professional Ethics (Practical and Professional Ethics Series) (Hardcover)
This is a textbook for graduate school that I found on Amazon for half the price the school bookstore was asking. It arrived quickly & was in excellent condition; like new. I order from Amazon frequently and am always pleased.

Work Life Balance,
By Murrayfan (New West) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Meaningful Work: Rethinking Professional Ethics (Practical and Professional Ethics Series) (Hardcover)
In these times, we need to turn back to some of our basic business ethics. This is a wonderful and in depth book which I think introduces a healthy, more holistic approach to work, as opposed to a compartmentalized, unbalanced approach which may be harmful long-term.
