Research data sources are the result of research articles on moral agency and the development of ethics of teaching profession gathered by documentation studies and reviewed systematically. The results of this research conclude that the concept of teachers as moral agency can be understood as the double condition which covers the teacher as: 1) exemplary figures who perform professional acts ethically; and 2) as moral educators who teach the virtues of prosperity to the students so that they become human being with character. The structure of the moral agency building within the scope of the teaching profession consists of four components, namely: moral sensitivity, moral consideration, moral motivation, and moral action. This paper is expected to provide significant benefits for the development of literature on the theory of teachers’ competency development in the areas of personality, ethics, and morality competency.
