The term “deontology” is derived from the Greek (Δέον –“duty” and “logos” —science) — a chapter of ethics which studies the problems of duty. And professional ethics is primarily a certain profession specific code of ethics of people of certain profession. The main function of professional ethics is to regulate the moral relations of people in one of the main areas of social life — work activity (material-productive, economic, administrative, spiritual, and cultural). The main moral and ethical standards that promote effective professional interaction and communication are the following: honesty, integrity, fairness, tolerance, respect, responsibility, etc. The factors which complicate the process of professional interaction and lead to negative consequences are the following: communication barriers (intellectual, emotional, esthetic, moral, motivational and cultural prejudice barriers), subjects’ interaction mistakes (stereotypical thinking and behaviour), neglect or ignorance of professional ethics (indifference, negligence, defamation, abuse of his official position, etc.). Therefore, to achieve success in overcoming this problem, there should be a set of interrelated mechanisms, which include strong and stable infrastructure of ensuring ethics, specific preventive methods of such negative behaviour and effective application of the law.
