Abstract

In the current research, the subject as ethics considered as the main challenge the administrators and agencies are facing is analyzed and deliberated and this issue is emphasized that the policies and policy making in the field of Public Administration and Governance have to be based on the national interests and public will and this significant matter is constantly taken as an ethical principle for all governments .Thus ,the goal behind the ethics analysis in this study is to count and extract the fundamental principles of public ethics that seems many administrators and agencies of public sector, especially in some developing countries pay little attention to these principles and standards and only verbally adhere to such principles to reduce the pressures and attract the citizens' attention and this statement in society merely creates ambiguity and confusion for the citizens and in practice, it doesn’t help solve the public system challenges and issues .Thus to perceive the ethical principles and standards deliberated in this work can pave the ground for a democratic society development and increase the political system legitimacy and promote public confidence in the government.
