Ethics for Civil Servants (LEPE4)
Ευάγγελος Πρωτοπαπαδάκης
The course examines the concept of the ethics of public officials as a distinct type of professional ethics. Specifically, it analyzes the ethical principles that should be applied in public administration, which constitute the code of ethics for public servants. In this context, it explores why the ethics of public officials differ from those of private employees, whether this differentiation should exist, and what are the fundamental ethical principles that should apply to public officials. Special emphasis is placed on the principles of protecting public interest, impartiality, and avoiding conflicts of interest.
