PASSAGE–II
Of the many aspects of public administration, the ethical aspects are perhaps the most important but the lowest
codified. While administrative rules and procedure have been codified in different public documents and manuals, there
is no manual for the ethics of public servants.
While organisational behaviour analyses the factors which influence the behaviour of individuals in an organisation,
ethics refer to those norms and standards which behaviour of the people in an organisation must conform. While
behaviour analysis deals with factual aspects, ethics relate to the normative aspects of administration. The normative
aspects are of the greatest significance. Just as for an individual if character is lost, everying is lost, so also for an
administration if the ethics is lost, every thing is lost. Neither efficiency nor loyalty could be substitute for high ethical
standards. In India, though there is no ethical code for public administrators, there are elaborate called, the
Government Servants’ Conduct Rules. These rules lay down what constitutes misconduct for the public servants. It is
apparently implied that such misconduct, which is not permitted, is also unethical conduct.
