In the effort to produce a society that is civilised, unified, democratic, impartial, liberal and progressive, teachers should be the role model for the students. Based on this fact, teachers should act in accordance to MOE's working ethics, teachers' working ethics and Malaysian Teachers' Standard as the main aim is to equip the human capital with knowledge as well as good integrities and moral values. With the understanding of teachers' working ethics, it is pertinent that teachers observe their behaviours accordingly. Recognizing this importance, a teacher work ethic module has been specifically developed to enhance knowledge, understanding and practice on work ethics aimed at producing quality teachers today and in the future. This article focuses on the construction of the module that has been developed based on the Module Construction Model that has been introduced by Sidek Noah. In developing a module, the Model has set two stages, namely nine steps in the first stage and two steps in the second stage. The work ethic module has gone through all the recommended levels. Based on the evaluation result by a module evaluation specialist, it is found that the coefficient level for module validity is 0.79 and the Alpha Cronbach reliability for this module is 0.79 which is very high. The result findings showed that this module has a high validity and reliability. From this study, it is found that all the activities suggested in the module are suitable and usable as tools or resources, and can act as a guidebook that helps facilitate, gives awareness, inculcates the feeling of repentance and motivates all the teachers in Malaysia. The fact is, this module can help increase the understanding and quality in teachers' and students' behaviours. Indirectly, the internalization of soft skills or positive moral values can be inculcated, developed and enhanced which would result in the decrease of discipline problems among students.
