DEONTOLOGY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
DEONTOLOGY IN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Summary/Abstract: Amongst the obligations that a person that holds a public office has, a series of duties, both moral and legal, are circumscribed in the professional ethics. All the moral obligations that an official has, during the exercise of his profession can be quantified by using the generic notion of “deontology”. Deontology, through its specific research object lies at the border that exists between law and ethics. A comprehensive set of anticorruption measures would necessarily include deontology of the public office as an integral particle. Some of the deontological rules have legal power while others are sanctioned only by public opinion, as they are ethical norms.
