Description by Publisher
Since it was first published in 1991, The Ethics Challenge in Public
Service has become a classic text used by public managers and in public
management programs across the country. This second edition is filled with
practical tools and techniques for making ethical choices in the ambiguous,
pressured world of public service. It explores the day-to-day ethical dilemmas
managers face in their work, including what to do when rules recommend one
action and compassion another, and whether it is ethical to dissent from
agency policy. This essential text explores managers' accountability to
different stakeholders and how to balance the often competing
responsibilities.
