Document Summary

The importance of ethics and values in public administration. Levels of ethics and values in public administration. Explain ways to improve the ethical behavior of those in a public organization and provide examples of managing ethics. Ethics is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with what is morally good and bad, right and wrong. Traditionally, ethics has been undertaken to analyse values: ethics involve the examination and analysis of the logic, values, and principles that are used to justify morality. Therefore, ethics is related to conduct, and is a critical reflection on morality. Acting on right values and not acting on wrong values (van wart, 1998) Involves thinking systematically about morals and conduct and making judgements about right and wrong (lewis, 1991) It is the process by which we clarify right from wrong and act on what we take to be right (denhardt, 1995)
