How engineer can introduced personally in the
context of ethical norms
Careers are similar to marathons in
that they require a lot of effort. It’s all about making steady progress and
picking up new skills along the road. We must be guided by our basic ideas even
as we expect to grow and develop professionally and personally throughout our
lives. As we learn to manage our careers by reading our moral compass,
professional development and ethics go hand in hand. A code of practice that
defines behavior by determining whether acts are ethical or incorrect might be
defined as career ethics. We can reap the benefits of following a clear and
consistent set of criteria on our career growth by adhering to them. We create
ethical principles throughout our lives as a result of our families, education,
communities, religion, and employment, and they can be extremely useful in
assisting us in thriving and improving in our careers.
My parents were wonderful, although
they did occasionally lie to my brothers and me. There are two specific
examples that come to mind. “Sticks and stones may break your bones, but
words will never harm you,” they claimed. This was their first untruth; we
all know that while words may not hurt physically, they surely harm
intellectually and emotionally. When we were spanked, they told us the second
lie: “This is going to hurt me more than it’s going to hurt you.” I
don’t think spanking me did them any good! Thankfully, these are the only two
lies I recall from my parents. They were always honest, even if it was painful.
My brothers and I learned about
right and wrong from them, which inspired us to always act ethically,
especially as we grew older and entered the workforce. Acceptable standards of
behavior and maintaining integrity in the workplace are examples of ethics
(especially when no one is looking). Our values guide our actions and shape our
attitudes. As a result, our attitudes shape our behavior. Ethical behavior is
beneficial to business because it demonstrates respect for key moral principles
such as honesty, fairness, equality, dignity, diversity, and individual rights.
My Personal Credo
I will treat others the way I would
like to be treated. In both my personal and professional life, I will be
truthful and open. I will always give my all, and I will strike a healthy
work-life balance. I am committed to constantly bettering myself. I will keep
my promises and fulfil my obligations. I will accept responsibility for any
shortcomings or mistakes I make. I will always stand firm in my convictions. I
value my life and will be thankful for it every day. I fully support my core
values and will hold myself accountable.
Follow-up statement 1:
I will treat others the way I would
like to be treated. Regardless of my mood or current life situation, I will
commit to acting courteously in my day-to-day interactions with others. It is
important to me that I have a positive impact on the people with whom I come
into contact.
Statement 2 as a follow-up:
I will be honest and transparent in
my personal and professional life. While I respect my right to privacy, I am
committed to full disclosure of my professional life. I’m committed to not
withholding information from someone who deserves it, but I recognize the
reality of and anticipate encountering situations that appear ambiguous. These
situations will force me to reconsider my morals in order to determine whether
withholding information is acceptable.
Follow-up statement 3:
I will
always put forth my best effort, and I will maintain a healthy work-life
balance.
My effort is not always necessarily
about the result, but about my adherence to my own standards in achieving them.
I am dedicated to equally prioritizing my work and home lives when deciding how
to spend my time and efforts.
Follow-up statement 4:
I will
remain accountable for my shortcomings or mistakes.
I will hold myself accountable for
any action that I am morally responsible for. To avoid situations in which I
may be required to perform such actions, I will strive for as much autonomy as
possible in my personal and professional lives. Accepting accountability if I
cause any sort of harm includes righting unintentional wrongs.
My Two Guiding Ethical Frameworks
We are welcoming of people from all
backgrounds on our team, including members of any race, ethnicity, culture,
class, orientation, education, age, size, family status, political or religious
beliefs and mental and physical ability. Treat others how you would like to be
treated in the workplace. Each person on this team is important and essential,
and each person’s decisions and actions affect our outcomes and morale. Conducting
yourself professionally includes being kind to others. Maintain professional
interactions when communicating with others at all times.
Ethical Dilemma
The nature of dilemma is standing
against wrong powers enforcing for the step against ethical values. The video
shows that the engineer worked the bet according to the rules and norms fulfilling
the all requirements of the project while his senior is enforcing him to do it
against ethical values for their political purposes.
The engineer in the given video is
facing both internal and external pressure. Internally he cannot accept immoral
and unethical standard or act meanwhile external pressure of his senior due to
political reasons is also enforcing him. Now this is dilemma how he will manage
the both pressures. Either he manages the pressure of juniors as well as internal satisfaction or the
pressure and underestimation of seniors, enforcing him for the happiness of new
selected mayor and due to which company will get benefits. For the benefits of
company, seniors are enforcing the engineer for unethical work.
The stakeholders according to this
video are junior engineers which are working their best and senior managers
which are working by focusing only the company benefits. The responsibility of
engineer is to work hard both by managing the company benefits as well as by
taking all the work ethically. In case the company enforces him or indulging
him in unethical work. He should have the power to say no or in other way
enforces the company seniors with his arguments to work ethically.
According to the credo, I should
keep an eye on the moral values and never be enforced by any person or company
in my way. I should have to work with honesty and dignity or leave it.
