The Ethics Primer for Public Administrators in Government and Nonprof it Organizations (e-book)

Ethics is an essential aspect of public service, but it is often left out of discussions on the development of the
field and its major functions. Ethics is sometimes treated as a specialized topic studied for its own sake. For
ethics to guide the attitudes and behavior of public administrators, it must be integrated into the way
administrators think about their practice and incorporated into their everyday behavior.
I come to the exploration of ethics from a general scholarly interest in political-administrative relations. In
my research and teaching, I seek to understand how public administration contributes to the political process,
how politicians and administrators interact with each other, and how administrators relate to citizens.
Examining these topics naturally brings up the issue of appropriate limits and goals, particularly regarding the
behavior of public administrators. What is, and should be, the role of professional public administrators in
governance? What are the characteristics of political-administrative relations? What do we expect
administrators to do—and not to do? How do administrators relate to citizens? How should they balance their
accountability to elected superiors and their professional standards with their responsibility to the public? The
normative side of each of these questions involves “big” ethical issues, and these are the focus of this text.
