This study explores the integration of vocational ethics into professional development programs for social workers and its impact on ethical decision-making, professional development engagement, and service quality. A comprehensive framework was introduced to enhance social workers' ability to navigate ethical dilemmas, make informed decisions, and engage in continuous ethical training. The study involved a 6-month intervention with 100 social workers, who were divided into an experimental group (n=50) and a control group (n=50). The experimental group participated in workshops and role-playing scenarios designed to foster ethical decision-making skills, while the control group continued with traditional professional development activities. The results revealed significant improvements in the experimental group, with a 24% increase in ethical decision-making skills, a 76% increase in engagement with professional development activities, and enhanced service quality, as reported by 74% of clients. Regression analysis confirmed that both ethical decision-making and professional development significantly contributed to improved service quality. The study concludes that integrating vocational ethics into social work practice enhances both the professional capabilities of social workers and the quality of services they provide, suggesting the importance of incorporating ethics into social work education and practice.
