VALUES IN PUBLIC SERVICE:
Values flow from the individual's inner self of knowing what is right and wrong and doing that with integrity. Whereas ethics is about imposing from outside by an organisation as to what is right to do and wrong on its employees conduct.
Therefore in the recent times, one has seen an erosion of values and ethics in public service personnel due to a number of reasons like corruption, nepotism, bureaucratization,non transparency,etc.
Ethics can be handled by the organisations, however, unless it is backed by values in an individual, it will be incomplete in its totality. That is why values are extremely important.
