산업사회 직업윤리의 사회사상사적 기초

Abstract

This paper attempts to analyze and infer the professional ethics which are aquired in modern commodity-economic society. The industrial society means the transformation from the self- suficiency society to the commodity-economic society. The comodity-economic society is based on two kinds of division of labour. One is social division of labour and the other is division of labour at workplace. I seek the reason why transformation into commodity-economic society accelerates social division of labour as a whole and the specific division of labor at workplace from the folowing grounds. In commodity-economic society, individual needs are fulfilled by comodities produced by others, while other's neds are fulfilled by comodities produced by me. As commodity-economic society requires mass-production. separation between production- planners and managers who own power and facilities for production and producer-self who participates in direct production is necessary. The social division of labour and division of labour at workplace can have comon interests sometimes, but have opposed interests at other times. The opposed interests in social division of labour happens even if 'I' expect high utility from 'others', even when 'I' produce low utility. The opposed interests in division of labour at workplace happen even if the producer-self wants high wage even when he or she works at minimum level. The opposed interests also happen even if the production-planner gives the producer-self low wage even when they force the producer-self to work hard. This paper suggests two kinds of professional-ethics which transform the opposed interests to the common interests, namely 'interdependency of utility' and 'rewards based on outcome'.
