Ethics In Public Sector Organizations: A Survey Of Bayelsa State

ABSTRACT

The research in its logical flow delved into various areas

relating to Public Service ethical values and compliance by

staff so as to find solutions to the issue of ethics existing in

unscrupulous public servants in Bayelsa State. In order to

arrive at the various findings, the combination of

questionnaire, interview and personal observation were

used for data collation or gathering. To direct the study, two

hypotheses were formulated, and to validate the hypotheses

or otherwise, a statistical formula called Chi-square was

used. Notable among the findings of this study includes:

The public service ethical code as contained in the Public

Service Rule Book of 2008 and the 1999 Constitution of the

Federal Republic of Nigeria is feasible and practicable, but

public servants in Bayelsa State did not strictly adhere to

the Public Service ethical code of conduct before the

investigation was carried out. It was also discovered that

external political, social and economic influences impede

the effective administration of government business by Civil

Servant in the State. The study does not only present

striking objectives but also workable recommendations

among which are; establishing anti-corruption units in all

the states and be manned with incorruptible officers to

combat the business holistically to promote national

development, etc. The study hinged on the monumental

work of Max Weber whose main concern was the

rationalization of authority into impersonal and

bureaucratized institutions with high sense of merit and

strict obedience to an impersonal body of rules.
