職業服務 Vocational Service

「職業」一詞係指一般人「通常之雇用或受雇，一般職業、事業之經營，或專業等」。扶輪所謂「職業服務」，含有廣泛的意義，在此，扶輪所稱之「服務」，不僅限於一般商業或職業經營上，有關產品之銷售或工作之達成，也包含對於受服務者之需要及其處境之考慮，並不斷地奉行為他人設想的原則。

扶輪宗旨特別用以下文字強調職業服務之內涵：「在於鼓勵與培養，在各種事業及專業中提高道德之標準；認識一切有益於社會的職業之價值；及每一扶輪社員應尊重其本身之職業，藉以服務社會。」

Vocation refers to one’s “regular employment, calling, business, profession, or occupation.” In the term “Vocational Service,” Rotary employs the word “service” in its broadest sense, referring not merely to the merchandise sold or work done in any business or professional transaction, but also to the giving of due consideration to the needs and circumstances of the one served and to the continual thoughtfulness of others.

Vocational Service is stressed in Rotary’s Object in these words: “To encourage and foster high ethical standards in business and professions; the recognition of the worthiness of all useful occupations; and the dignifying of each Rotarian’s occupation as an opportunity to serve society.”
