Responsibility and professionalism are increasingly issues of concern for professional associations, employers and educators alike. When bad things happen, professionals are often held personally accountable for complex situations. Professional Responsibility and Professionalism advances our approaches to professional responsibility from individual-centred, virtue-based prescriptions towards understanding and responding effectively to the multifaceted challenges encountered today by professionals working in dynamic complexity. The author applies a sociomaterial examination to specific examples drawn from different professional contexts of practice. She examines important implications for what professional responsibility and accountability might mean individually and collectively, and what it might be becoming when demands increasingly conflict, and when we accept that capacities for action are performed into existence in emergent and precarious webs of both human and non-human forces.The chapters explore some of the most prominent questions in professional responsibility, including:What does professional responsibility, and accountability, mean in the escalating complexities and conflicts confronting today’s professionals?How does professional responsibility become developed and enacted, and through what social and material entanglements?How should responsibility be determined in multi-agency and interprofessional practice?What happens when professional decisions are delegated to software algorithms and diagnostic instruments?How are new governing regimes of professional work, such as innovation imperatives, excessive audit and logics of blame and scapegoating, reconfiguring responsibility?How can professionals respond simultaneously to individuals in need, the obligations of their profession, the demands of their employer and an anxious society?A major concern addressed by each chapter, and the book as a whole, is educating professionals in and for responsibility. Specific dilemmas and strategies are offered for educators in universities, workplaces and professional development contexts who seek new approaches to helping professionals learn to critically understand and practise responsibility today.This book will appeal to a wide audience of education researchers and post-graduate students studying professional practice, professionalism and education across a wide range of disciplines. Health professionals, professionals working in private practices, such as law, architecture and engineering, newer professions such as social work and policing, and educational professionals at all levels will find stories and strategies reflecting key issues of their practice in this detailed exploration of professional responsibility and accountability.

"Just like other experts, members of the professions develop their craft thanks to a deep internalisation of both complex cognitive structures and a mix of habits and intuitive understandings. These non-cognitive aspects of expertise can be what distinguishes the merely competent from the truly brilliant. Yet habits can also be what makes us blind to important features of the world we inhabit. In the life of a professional, these features include the vulnerability of those seeking her services, which in turn grounds the professional's particular ethical responsibility. This book develops an in-depth account of habit to understand its impact upon the way moral decisions are made in a professional context. Its central thesis is the following: what most often stands in the way of a professional meeting her ethical responsibility is not so much stupidity (or character defects) but rather the deleterious aspects of habituation. This book calls for renewed attention to be paid to habits and their relationship to ethical agency. Mostly neglected in moral and legal theory, such an inquiry not only conditions an adequate understanding of the risks inherent in a legal system's institutional structure. It is also essential if we are to come to grips with the challenges raised by the professions' growing reliance upon automated systems."

Werte haben Hochkonjunktur in der Gestaltung privater Unternehmen und gewinnen auch in öffentlichen Bereichen wie Politik, Schule usw. an Bedeutung. In theologisch-ethischen Arbeiten hingegen bleibt die Beschäftigung mit Werten im Beruf vielfach unbeachtet. Das vorliegende Buch will deshalb neben einer theoretischen Hinführung zur Bestimmung, Differenzierung und Bedeutung von Werten auch die Praxis stärker beleuchten und die tragenden Wertvorstellungen in Politik, Unternehmen, Landwirtschaft, Schule, Medizin, Gesundheits- und Krankenpflege sowie Altenpflege herausarbeiten. Ein abschließender Beitrag reflektiert diese Ergebnisse und widmet sich u.a. der Frage nach der Stellung von Werten in der Ethik sowie dem Zusammenspiel von persönlichen, beruflichen und unternehmerischen Werten. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird schließlich die Notwendigkeit deutlich, eine Ethik der Arbeitswelt neu zu entwickeln bzw. in Anbetracht der vorgelegten Überlegungen weiter zu vertiefen.

Neben den theoretischen und allgemeinen Grundlagen von Informationsethik und Bibliotheksethik wird das Spektrum ethischer Konflikte und Dilemmata an Beispielen aus der Praxis des Berufsfelds Bibliothek und Information konkret erläutert. Dabei wird deutlich, dass wissenschaftlich fundierte Aussagen der Informationsethik und der Bibliotheksethik grundlegend für die wertbezogene Standardisierung bibliothekarischer Arbeit und äußerst hilfreich für ethisch abgesicherte Entscheidungen im Berufsalltag sind.

Corollario della dottrina della separazione dei poteri e pilastro della rule of law, il principio dell’indipendenza della magistratura riveste grande importanza soprattutto nella tradizione giuridica occidentale. La sua analisi con riguardo alla Cina non può prescindere da una comprensione della realtà nella quale deve essere applicato, dalla conoscenza del ceto dei giuristi, dalle relazioni tra i poteri dello stato e dalla storia del Partito comunista. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è dunque quello di definire a livello normativo l’indipendenza e la professionalità del giudice cinese, inquadrando i due concetti in un contesto storico e con raffronti con le dinamiche occidentali, al fine di recuperare lo scopo ultimo della funzione giudiziaria: l’imparzialità della decisione.
