The code of ethics of the university as the basis of corporate culture of technical university. Standard model

The article presents results of the research on contemporary state of design and implementation of codes of ethics into university management structure as one of cornerstone documents of each educational institution's corporate culture. Analysis of existing code of ethics introduction experience allows for making the following conclusions: there is a demand for such thing as a regulating mechanism for the interaction between all participating parties on the one hand, but on the other hand there are no unified recommendations on and approaches to their design. The aim of this work is to formulate a typical model of code of ethics that would include general "universal" behavioral recommendations for all educational institutions and at the same time serve as a starting point for "personified" codes of ethics for individual educational institutions taking into consideration their peculiar features. In order to achieve the sated goal the authors analyze experience of creating codes of ethics in organizations of different type, looking into different types, structures, content, aims and objectives. A concept of a standard model of code of ethics has been developed for a higher educational institution on the example of a technical university. On the basis of the formulated concept and analysis of teaching and didactic process at the higher educational institution the authors have designed a basic mode of a code of ethics that would formalize main behavioral norms and communication between trainees, lecturers, staff, partners and other stakeholders. The main result of the research is a basic model of a code of ethics allowing for creating local norms for educational institutions, regulating attitude to professional duties and sometimes outlook of staff members with different educational level, social, cultural background that takes into consideration peculiar characteristics of the institution. Such model is also useful in forming cultural, personal and social competencies of graduates. As the use of basic model of a code of ethics is limited by the function of regulating relations between the educational process participants it is suggested to pay attention to such aspects as social responsibility and security for all the educational process participants in future works devoted to the topic of forming corporate culture. Practical importance of the formulated basic model of a code of ethics is that it allows for forming corporate cul­ture on the basis of a unified approach, creating manageable staff, achieving no-conflict state, forming and supporting attractive image of the institution based on positive behavior and communication of each staff member. It also helps in mobilizing all resources of lecturers and trainees with the aim of achieving high quality of education. The basic model of a code of ethics presented in the article is new. Its value lies in built-in mechanism of self-development, adapting to changes in legislation, transformation into tailored corporate codes of ethics for institutions with different tasks and aims.
