Ethics and integrity in public administration

The publication provides an insider's view on the specifics of ethics and the application of ethics in public administration. It covers current concepts such as open government, integrity and ethical politics, based on recent international experience. It introduces progressive tools such as compliance, ethical auditing or whistleblowing, which are still often taboo in the Czech Republic.

Professional, efficient and client-oriented public administration requires highly competent officials and staff. Professionalism includes personal integrity and ethical competence, which should be effectively supported by the organizational culture. Readers will find models for decision-making in complex and dilemmatic ethical situations. The publication also addresses such socially serious issues as conflict of interest, corruption and discrimination. The introductory theoretical chapters give the monograph a coherent framework.

The publication is suitable not only for public officials and employees of public administration, but also for students of social sciences and all those who want to gain the latest knowledge to shape ethical policy and promote ethics and integrity in organizations.
