dc.description.abstract	Address the issue of professional ethics in the training process of (future) professionals in Portuguese higher education institutions and the appreciation of professional ethics in the exercise of professional activity with its connection with code of conduct and professional deontology. The theoretical-conceptual reference framework comes from heuristic literature research, which was analyzed hermeneutically in order to substantiate our purpose and respective objectives. We intend to value professional ethics in university training by using an empirical part of a quantitative methodology study (descriptive, transversal, explanatory), to determine what are the characteristics/attitudes 'Being a Good Professional' referred to by active professionals and students in training. Master (N=109 subjects), from the interior region of Portugal, having inserted these characteristics most cited as a percentage in a 'checklist' integrated into the 5 skills that the literature indicates for the profession: cognitive/scientific, technical-organizational, affective-emotional, social , ethics. The results expressed that the subjects have more 'Technical-organizational' (29.4) and 'ethical' (23.9%) and scientific (21%) skills, due to the requirement of exercising and profile of their own profession (responsibility and principles deontological), to the detriment of other skills less valued by them, which is partly contrary to other studies. Therefore, higher education institutions must introduce professional ethics subjects into their study plans, ensuring good ethical conduct for future professionals to be 'expert' and act ethically well in their future professional activity in organizations/companies and responding to the demands of society.	en
dc.description.abstract	Resumo: Abordaremos a questão da ética profissional no processo de formação de (futuros) profissionais nas instituições de ensino superior portuguesas e a valorização da ética profissional no exercício da atividade profissional com a sua ligação ao código de conduta e à deontologia profissional. O referencial teórico-conceitual provém de pesquisa bibliográfica heurística, que foi analisada hermenêuticamente para fundamentar o nosso propósito e respetivos objetivos. Pretendemos valorizar a ética profissional na formação universitária recorrendo a uma parte empírica de um estudo de metodologia quantitativa (descritivo, transversal, explicativo), para determinar quais são as características/atitudes ‘Ser um Bom Profissional’ referidas pelos profissionais em atividade e pelos estudantes em formação. . Mestre (N=109 disciplinas), da região do interior de Portugal, tendo inserido estas características mais citadas em percentagem numa ‘checklist’ integrada nas 5 competências que a literatura indica para a profissão: cognitiva/científica, técnico-organizacional, afetivo-emocional, social, ética. Os resultados expressaram que os sujeitos possuem mais competências ‘Técnico-organizacionais’ (29,4) e ‘éticas’ (23,9%) e científicas (21%), devido à exigência de exercício e perfil da própria profissão (responsabilidade e princípios deontológicos) , em detrimento de outras competências por eles menos valorizadas, o que contraria em parte outros estudos. Assim, as instituições de ensino superior devem introduzir nos seus planos de estudos matérias de ética profissional, garantindo uma boa conduta ética para que os futuros profissionais sejam ‘especialistas’ e atuem bem eticamente na sua futura atividade profissional nas organizações/empresas e respondendo às exigências da sociedade.	pt_PT
