Summary/Abstract: Individual values are formed through family, education, and various cultural experiences, while the values of public officials are shaped by the rule-of-government tradition of rule-making. The goal is to incorporate both approaches, value-based approaches and rule-based approaches into civil officials. Unethical treatment and lack of integrity are an obstacle to the fulfillment of the tasks of administration, and have an immediate and scope of unimaginable negative consequences on the individual and society. Consequently, the construction of an effective system of ethics and integrity through the complex of rules, procedures and institutions has recently been considered a cornerstone of the concept of good public governance. Managing officers, by their own example, should promote the integrity and ethical behavior of civil officials in everyday work. In principle, ethical consciousness is the common responsibility of all members of the organization, so they should take part in the development of special codes of conduct, such as managing civil officials and all other interested officials, regardless of the hierarchy represented in the organization. Key words:ethics, morality, identity, integrity, public service.
