From the Paper:

"As Public Administration has evolved as an academic discipline and as a career profession, it has needed to develop operating procedures, codes of conduct, and other organizing principles common to such fields. Among these, one of the most important needs has been the development of ethics and morality codes. These are important, because public servants are often in charge of critical social functions and have access to public funds. Additionally, they represent different publics, and often must decide how to divide limited resources among competing interests. Without a proper guide for action, the public administration individual and organization could easily fall prey to drift (in the best case) or corruption (in the worst case). This paper will define ethics and morality as applied to public administration, in order to outline guiding principles which drive public administration."
