Professionals function in what can be called "social practices."
Norms in the practice set professionals' responsibilities and
rights and classify what is seen as morally proper and improper.
Tensions arise when norms emerge that are not coherent with the
nature of the practice. For example, when a hospital is assessed on
the basis of economic criteria only, staff will feel uncomfortable
and find difficulty in functioning properly in that practice. The
Normative Nature of Social Practices and Ethics in Professional
Environments is an essential research book that helps professionals
in a variety of practices understand how normativity in their
practice either helps or hampers them to function well and align
with what they see as their personal and professional
responsibility. Additionally, it explains the normative practical
model/approach and how it can be applied to a series of concrete
practices, as well as the role of innovative and disruptive
technologies in these practices. Featuring a broad range of topics
such as governance theory, sustainable development, and
engineering, this book is ideally designed for managers,
philosophers, sociologists, professionals, academicians, and
researchers.
