Acting ethically, even when it goes against the popular opinion, is essential in upholding the values of public service. However, a common perception among local, state, and federal public servants is that their hands are tied and their ability to effect change is limited. \u003cbr\u003eTo address this issue, Empowering Public Administrators: Ethics and Public Service Values offers a valuable perspective. This book advocates for integrating historically significant theories into public service ethics by applying them to contemporary ethical challenges. It explores the role of administrative discretion in modern bureaucratic governance within a political context, building upon the normative foundations of public administration. The collection provides readers with a comprehensive framework for understanding and practicing public service values. Each chapter includes discussion questions and practical applications, making it an invaluable resource for public affairs masters and doctoral students, as well as public service practitioners. \u003cbr\u003eBy empowering public administrators with the knowledge and tools to make ethical decisions, we can ensure that public services are delivered with integrity, transparency, and accountability. This book serves as a call to action, encouraging public servants to embrace their role as change agents and work towards creating a more just and equitable society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 902g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 152 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032651828\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":45200813719802,"sku":"9781032651828","price":147.56,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1708108372075_book.jpg?v=1708250719","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/empowering-public-administrators-ethics-and-public-service-values-9781032651828","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
