Abstract

The reform of the local public administration in Romania required the development and implementation of European concepts to strengthen the institutional capacity and in the field of human resources, respectively ethics and integrity in the public office. The relevance of the duties of the ethics advisor within the local public administration is imposed by the monitoring of compliance with the rules of conduct within the institutional framework, as well as by the pro-active assumption of an individual behavior determined by the organizational culture. In order to measure the degree of knowledge and compliance with the rules of conduct, the impact of the ethical counseling activity as well as the perception of the employees in the local public administration, a questionnaire addressed to management civil servants and executive civil servants was developed and distributed. The echo that the advice and assistance of the ethics adviser has among the staff of the public administration must be determined by the requirements of ethics and integrity, by the system of its training and information. Harmonizing and strengthening the relations between employees and the ethics advisor, imposes the credibility and trust of citizens in the public administration.
