Organizational Culture as a Pillar of Public Administration Integrity

Summary/Abstract: This paper analyzes the effect of organizational culture on building an environment convenient for the consequent pursuit of ethical standards in professional exercise of public affairs. †he anal–sis is situated in the institutional context of implementing the policy of human resources management as a part of the public administration reform in post–industrial democratic hierarchies, according to basic tenets of a model of the novel public management. †he author emphasizes that ignoring the essential difference between ethical reasoning of employees in a private enterprise acting in the circumstances of profit maximization and that of public officers who are obliged to act in accordance with public interests leads inevitably to the emergence of corruptive patterns of behaviour in public sector. Because it shapes in an imperceptible way, through the socialization process, the ethical choices of public officers in the interpretation and application of prescriptions and accepted public policies in specific cases, only an organizational culture founded on ethical standards carries with it the counter–corruptive potential.
