Abstract
Public administration ethics is part of professional ethics. The Administrative Procedure Code directly defines public administration as a service to the public.
Everyone who performs the tasks arising from the competence of the administrative body has to be polite to the persons concerned and, if possible, to accommodate their needs. This also establishes an ethical approach.
Ethics has a place in public administration primarily in connection with decisionmaking, and subsequently, behavior inside and outside the office. Morality and ethics have a close relationship to law, though their enforcement is much more difficult.
That is why there are attempts to codify through codes of ethics. The code of ethics is constructed as a result of the search for optimal ethical behavior of the subject, which should serve on the one hand as a prevention against various types of corruption, scandals, harm to interests, etc., and on the other hand, as a moral standard that should ensure a minimum of ethics in a person's behavior, professions, and industries.
