職業服務的主要目標之一，在於宣揚扶輪的崇高職業道德標準。扶輪社員可用於評量此標準的工具有二：「四大考驗」和「扶輪社員之事業及專業宣言」。

A primary goal of Vocational Service is to promote Rotary’s high ethical standards. The two tools Rotarians have to assess such standards are The 4-Way Test and the “Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions.”

四大考驗

The 4-Way Test

四大考驗原先是美國伊利諾州芝加哥扶輪社社員兼1954-55年度國際扶輪社長賀伯•泰勒(Herbert J. Taylor)於1932年的構想。泰勒當初被指派一項拯救某家公司免於破產的任務，於是他設計了這個考驗以監控其拯救行動的成效。由於泰勒對該考驗協助他達成的成果十分滿意，因此便開始和別人分享這個方法，而到了1943年，國際扶輪理事會已經決定讓它成為職業服務理想中的正式要素之一。

The 4-Way Test was conceived in 1932 by Herbert J. Taylor, a member of the Rotary Club of Chicago, Illinois, USA, and president of Rotary International in 1954-55. Taylor had been assigned the task of saving a company from bankruptcy, and he developed the test as a way to monitor his own actions in trying to revive the company. Pleased with the results the test helped him achieve, Taylor began to share it with others, and by 1943, the RI Board of Directors had decided to make it an official component of the Vocational Service ideal.

四大考驗不是法規，也不是教條，而是以問題的方式呈現。個人只需要捫心自問回答問題，並用這些答案作為促進信譽與維持事業及專業道德標準的指導方針即可。

Rather than being a code or creed, the test appears in the form of questions. It is up to the individual to provide the answers and use them as a guide toward fostering goodwill and maintaining ethical business and professional standards.

四大考驗

The 4-Way Test

我們所想、所說、所做的事應事先捫心自問：

1. 是否一切屬於真實？

2. 是否各方得到公平？

3. 能否促進信譽友誼？

4. 能否兼顧彼此利益？

Of the things we think, say, or do:

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?

4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

扶輪社員之事業及專業宣言

Declaration of Rotarians in Businesses and Professions

此宣言於1989年立法會議上通過，作為更清楚定義扶輪宗旨中所要求的崇高職業道德標準的方法。此宣言為職業道德行為提供了一個架構，適合所有扶輪社員拿來與四大考驗搭配使用，作為社員評量其事業與專業活動的標準。

The Declaration was adopted by the 1989 RI Council on Legislation as a means of more clearly defining the high ethical standards called for in the Object of Rotary. It provides a framework for ethical behavior that all Rotarians can use, together with The 4-Way Test, as a standard against which to measure their business and professional activities.

在職場中建立高尚人格

Building Character in the Workplace

身為事業領導人及其專業中受人敬重的個人，扶輪社員可以利用職場來宣揚扶輪的崇高職業道德標準，藉此在雇員，同事和社區大眾間建立高尚人格。各種與工作相關的互動方式，都是鼓勵高尚情操行為的機會。

As business leaders and respected individuals in their professions, Rotarians can use the workplace as a way to advance the high ethical standards of Rotary, thus building character among employees, associates, and the community in general. All types of work-related interaction offer the opportunity to encourage principled behavior.

•在雇用、訓練和檢討過程中融入對誠信、責任、公平和尊敬的討論與重視。

•在內部溝通時—例如時事通訊、布告欄和備忘錄—讚許並鼓勵工作上和工作外的模範行為。

•在與顧客、賣方和事業夥伴的關係上，溝通並示範對高尚人格與職業道德的肯定。

• In hiring, training, and review procedures, include discussion and emphasis of honesty, accountability, fairness, and respect.

• In internal communications — such as newsletters, bulletin boards, and memos — praise and encourage exemplary behavior both on and off the job.

• In relations with customers, vendors, and business associates, communicate and demonstrate an affirmation of good character and ethics.
