About this title

Synopsis

Delineating implications for administrative ethics from other fields such as sociology, psychology and philosophy, this reference and text provides a comprehensive review of administrative ethics in the public sector - tracing the treatment of ethics in public administration literature from the late 19th century to the present. Research techniques for generating various categories of knowledge concerning administative ethics are suggested. This work also: examines the effectiveness of ethics training and legal and organizational devices for encouraging desired conduct; creates a taxonomy for administrative ethics using the categories of modern philosophy; discusses the origins of the term "public interest"; analyzes deontological and teleological approaches to administrative ethics oriented toward duty to principle; focuses on the ethical dimensions of organizational culture and the conflicts between culture and ethical conduct; and investigates topics of particular relevance to the political and social contexts of public administration in the United States.
