The research therefore seek to investigate Ethical issues in Ghana Public Administration. The wide trend of corruption and abuse of public office by government official in developing countries has dissuaded the international communities from international investment and cooperation. Consequently there is a global call for ethical standard in the conduct of governance in Africa. Political Governance all over the world is calling for transparency and accountability in government through sound ethical standards and observance by political office holders.
Consequently in view of the activities of some corrupt office holders in government it is expected that a study of this nature shall seek to address this ethical misconduct and proffer the needed recommendation to redress ethical misconduct in political governance. Graham, ; Hanekon, Therefore the problem confronting the research is to appraise the Ethical issue in Ghana public Administration.
The research was confronted by geographical constraint and logistics. Ethics can be defined as the basic principles of right action and rules of conduct Chapman, This is an office which independently receives and investigates allegations of maladministration.
Value constitutes peoples idea of what is acceptable or unacceptable or virtuous or without virtue. It is the importance people attribute to experiences, activities, or phenomena, and which provide guideline for their personal conduct Dwivedi, The main problem is that power influence has an order encouraging essence, while an administrative influence implies a clear horizontal communication built on the principle of feedback.
Power management usually prevails in the Russian management practice, which results in a number of problems in the functioning of communication and feedback.
Russia carries out simultaneously basic and innovative reforms, which are executed sequentially in other countries. Basic reforms are intended to clean up the mess, especially in the administrative system [3]. The parallel development of these processes in Russia resulted in a number of contradictions, and the system is constantly exposed to reforms, which does not allow laying the foundation for long-term, stable and sustainable development.
Nowadays, there is a global trend of innovation development, where the main trend is the consistent implementation of administrative influence on this segment of the economy.
The Russian management system has many problems, but one of the most important ones is the issue revolving around the development of innovative and technological potential of the Russian economy, which is caused by a specific regulation by the state of the innovation sphere, namely:.
The emergence of this problem was caused by unresolved contradiction between the lack of government support with resources for innovation sector and the needs of production's improvement due to the low significance of public administration mechanisms in the development of the economy. The deficit of funds in the economy requires a system of financing the innovation sphere, the core of which should be a public-private investment in innovation [4].
In this case, there is a need for redeployment of some of the powers in favor of the private sector, which reinforces the public character of management and facilitates the flow of resources tangible and intangible in innovative segments of the economy. In order to reduce potential costs, it is necessary to involve private entities in this process, which will not only reduce government costs, but it will develop business entities as well.
The public management of innovations in modern Russian conditions is thereby a new paradigm and a new type of organization. The poor development of informational and analytical factors of managerial decisions is one of the most vulnerable parts of the implementation of the state policy as it subsequently leads to miscalculations and errors in the implementation of socio-economic policies. Decisions at the local level often do not reflect the real needs of the population's majority as they are adopted in the interests of a small social group, which controls almost all national resources.
Such decisions lead to a continuous growth of social disparities, not only domestically but also internationally. The biggest obstacle in the development of effective public administration is a lack of flexible mechanisms to resolve conflicts between private and public interests. For the full development of the public nature of the administration it is necessary to solve the following problems:.
Indeed, the character of management action, exerted by the management subject on management object, becomes essential in the course of implementation of a public nature of governance.
In this case, the main purpose of public administration is to focus on the achievement of socio-significant results. Thus, public administration becomes the result of a kind of social contract, according to which state powers are transferred to government institutions, and the people are the source of these powers, which automatically makes the public administration the most important sort of governance on the national scale.
Public organizations, citizens and other public institutions in the field of public administration are subjects of this type of governance. They are actively involved in the administrative decision-making and decision implementation due to the existence of developed feedback.
Consequently, they can also get some public administration powers for their most efficient implementation in the interest of the whole society. In this model, the state is no longer a totalitarian or authoritarian system, and in this case it needs to ensure the system's accountability to the specific requirements and needs of the society.
Its citizens, who have access to the public administration and implementation process of public policy, become active subjects of the society. The development of a public nature of the administration aims at increasing the transparency of actions of public administration authorities, thus creating models of communicative interaction of the society, businesses and government.
This system is therefore designed to provide the highest level of general well-being both for the public and the society as a whole.
