摘要

过去几年,政府官员问责制这个有争议的问题一直是热门话题,因为它与政府治理息息相关。这项研究阐述了道德在确保政府官僚的问责制方面的作用,这是由透明度所激发的。为了实现这一点,通过二手数据使用了规范的研究方法。充分利用书籍和期刊等相关文献来描绘政府官僚主义的现有和普遍情况。问责制是控制政府官员道德行为的工具之一。在公共服务中存在据称滥用权力的例子,表明政府官僚机构无视道德标准。作为主权者的国家,是否应该对任何人负责,或被视为道德和负责任的代理人,这个问题在政治学文献中一直争论不休,可以追溯到霍布斯的时代。问责制是通过向管理者和低级官僚提出多重和动态的问责义务来实现的。制度方法对委托代理假设提出质疑,包括问责制需要什么,如何要求、呈现、评估和分配,以及问责制机构如何运作和变化。

Ethics and Accountability in Government Bureaucracy
For the past few years, a contentious issue of accountability among government bureaucrats has remained as topical as it is relevant to governance. This research brings in an exposition of the role of ethics in ensuring accountability among government bureaucrats as animated by transparency. To realize this, a normative research method is used through secondary data. Relevant literature like books and journals are sufficiently used to paint out the existing and prevailing circumstances in government bureaucracy. Accountability is one of the tools in controlling ethical conduct of government bureaucrats. There are instances of purported power abuse made in public service, showing government bureaucracy’s disregard for ethical standards. The question of whether the state, as sovereign, should be held accountable to anyone or viewed as a moral and responsible agent has been well debated in political science literature going all the way back to Hobbes’ time. Accountability is achievable by presenting multiple and dynamic accountability obligations to administrators and low-level bureaucrats. An institutional approach questions principal-agent assumptions regarding what accountability entails, how it is demanded, rendered, evaluated, and assigned, as well as how accountable institutions function and change.
