Organizational Ethics and Ethical Dilemmas
Human services professionals may occupy leadership roles (administration, research, management) or service roles, working directly with clients. The leadership responsibilities of a human services professional include the application of ethical standards in the primary role of administration, research, and management. In addition, one must understand and be able to apply ethical standards in the service role to effectively guide and support service personnel. The practice of ethics generally involves understanding standards set by the workplace and recognizing that what ought to be or might be the ethically appropriate decision or action is effectively carried out in either role.
