Ethical Reasoning Among Public Administrators in Russia

本研究研究的是俄罗斯联邦公共行政人员采用的伦理推理形式。 鉴于联邦公务员制度正处于过渡时期，本研究探讨三个问题。 首先，非选举产生的地方官员在面临道德困境时如何行使自由裁量权。 第二，什么变量与新兴民主国家的公共行政人员之间的道德推理的替代模式的行使。 最后，与制定公共行政人员道德标准有关的组织、人口、态度和背景变量有哪些？ 为了评估这些问题，俄罗斯公务员的样本已在美国使用的一个版本的工具，在各种各样的行政环境，以评估模式的道德推理。

This research studies forms of ethical reasoning employed by public administrators in the Russian Federation. Given that the Federation Civil Service is under transition, this research addresses three questions. First, how do non-elected local officials exercise discretion when confronted with ethical dilemmas. Second, what variables are associated with the exercise of alternative models of ethical reasoning among public administrators in emerging democracies. Finally, what are the organizational, demographic, attitudinal and contextual variables linked to the development of ethical standards among public administrators? To assess these questions, a sample of Russian civil servants are given a version of an instrument that has been used in the United States, in a wide variety of administrative contexts, to assess patterns of ethical reasoning.
