Practical Ethics in Public Administration - Third Edition

Unified Ethical Framework: The authors combine major classical Western philosophical theories into a single, cohesive approach for resolving everyday workspace issues.  No Division in Morality: The book establishes that there is no fundamental difference between personal and professional ethics, advocating for universal values that apply across both spheres.  Real-World Application: It uses real-life and hypothetical scenarios to analyze everyday administrative dilemmas, such as evaluating employee performance, allocating departmental funding, and making termination decisions.  Modern Challenges: The third edition introduces updated content focused on emerging moral hazards in public-private partnerships, the transition from strict compliance-based frameworks to integrity-based programs, and maintaining moral competency in the workplace.  The book is in good condition. It does have some notes, highlighting and underlining through throughout the book.
