Summary/Abstract: Deontology, through its specific object of research lies at the boundary between law and morality. It represents a set of rules outlining a certain professional or private behaviour. Some of these rules are established in terms of legal intervention and may be imposed by the coercive force of the state; others are only sanctioned by public opinion, following the ethical category. Deontology can be considered a bridge between legal sciences (law) and ethics and it can be examined from two perspectives: that of the regulations issued under the "principle of legality" in conjunction with the morals. The second aspect refers to the fact that it represents "all the legal and moral standards related to the public office as an intrinsic of public service objectively stated by the society at a time, in order to improve public service by those called to act as public officers. To get the best combination of hierarchical structure and administrative capacity with management effectiveness and efficiency and the ability to deliver results and performance, it is necessary to reform the public administration including all aspects of state organization. Thus, in the government’s reality, not everything that is legal is also ethical. Whether we like it or not, civil servants are working with certain legal rules that are not necessarily ethical as a general criterion.
