Public Sector Ethics: Theory and Applications
Autor Steven G. Kovenen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 feb 2015
Through detailed case studies the book argues that the concept of ethics is not black and white, but is a fluid concept that can be described in shades of gray through various lenses. It identifies how factors such as religion and philosophy can shape individuals’ values and possible friction that can arise between individuals’ values and missions of their organizations. It also stresses the importance of an organization’s strength of mission in creating environments for ethical action.
Taking a candid look at some of the unsavory stereotypes relating to government employee work ethic, the book explains the relationship between ethics and organizational structure. It emphasizes the role of mission fulfillment as a means to respond to the wishes of the populace, linking ethics to democratic accountability. It then gives you a framework for making ethical decisions that line up with your organization’s mission.

Descriere
This book is a guide to public sector ethics covering the major obstacles and stigmas within the field. For example, the ethics and rules of behavior will differ greatly in an elementary classroom versus a public library or a sanitation route or a battlefield. The book offers macro and local level ripped-from-the-headline style examples spanning areas such as whistle-blowing, public official scandal and resignation, even the age old stigma "are government employees lazy?"
