An Analysis of a Clean Government and Public Service Ethics

Ching-Hsiou Chen

Abstract

President Ma Ying-jeou in his inaugural address declared that to set a good example of a clean government is one of the most important missions for the new government. To build a new clean civil servant team which not only carries out the policy but also enhances a new self-reflection of individual civil servant is one of the major objectives of the new government. The author collects related data from different countries and briefly summarizes the core ethics values of OECD members in this article. The author also accepts suggestions and invites the participations from all walks of life, moreover, revises the core values of the civil servants and then the CPA enacts the Public Service Ethics, which differs from the Clean Government Act mainly regulating the anti-corruption range. The Public Service Ethics enforces the self-fulfillment for civil servants and aims to build an outstanding team.

This article also points out the following aspects: 1. The content of public administration ethics include the pursuit of social fairness and justice practice (responsibility) as well as the job specification code referred to “duty”. 2. The relationship between Public Service Ethics and building of clean government. 3. The practice of 12-code from Public Service Ethics. The civil servants can carry out the 12-code and internalized within themselves. They should be alerted always. We do hope that the new government shall accomplish the mission--to build a new clean government and each civil servant to become outstanding and to earn the respect and trust of the people.
