Abstract

The article aims to present a concise introduction on how the notion of work developed in history. It is emphasized that the concept of work as a creative process is gradually taken over by the concept of work as a reliable productive power, consequently it is difficult to fully understand the value-creating function of work. A partial solution to this situation would be to lay down the code of professional ethics. The second part of the study comprises the realization of this process in accordance with contemporary Hungarian laws.
