Public service values are too rarely discussed in public
administration courses and scholarship, despite recent research
demonstrating the importance of these values in the daily decision
making processes of public service professionals. A discussion of
these very tenets and their relevance to core public functions, as
well as which areas might elicit value conflicts for public
professionals, is central to any comprehensive understanding of
budget and finance, human resource management, and strategic
planning in the public sector. Public Service Values is written
specifically for graduate and undergraduate courses in public
administration, wherever a discussion of public service ideals
might enrich the learning experience and offer students a better
understanding of daily practice. Exploring the meaning and
application of specific values, such as Neutrality, Efficiency,
Accountability, Public Service, and Public Interest, provides
students and future professionals with a 'workplace toolkit' for
the ethical delivery of public services. Well-grounded in scholarly
literature and with a relentless focus on the public service
professional, Public Service Values highlights the importance of
values in professional life and encourages a more self-aware and
reflective public practice. Case studies to stimulate reflection
are interwoven throughout the book and application to practice is
cemented in a final section devoted to value themes in professional
life as well as a chapter dedicated to holding oneself accountable.
The result is a book that challenges us to embrace the necessity of
public service values in our public affairs curricula and that asks
the important questions current public service professionals should
make a habit of routinely applying in their daily decision making.
