Ethics in Public Management: The Case of Spain
Keywords:
Governance, Transparency, Open government, Accountability, Anti-corruptionAbstract
In recent years there has been a growing interest in improving ethics in the management of public resources. However, while there have been significant improvements in the search for efficiency and effectiveness in the use of public funds, there is not yet a complete and comprehensive development of mechanisms and instruments that enhance ethics in the decisions of public managers. In this article, the Spanish case study and its exercise of ethical responsibility are carried out, through which results of interest to other countries with similar models of public management are obtained.
