碩士 === 國立政治大學 === 公共行政學系 === 107 === The ethical value of public service is also called the core value of public servants in the official documents of the Taiwan government, or the core value of civil servants. The core value of public servants can be used as a mental cognition of public servants’ self-identity and the standard for engaging in public services. Therefore, the ethical value of a public servant will impact on his performance and even on government operations. This study systematically explores the public service ethics from three perspectives: academic, practical and empirical. First, in academics, the ethical values from traditional public administration to new public service are integrated, and the literature analysis method is adopted. In practice, domestic and foreign research and official documents on ethical values are compiled, supplemented by in-depth interviews to provide a deeper understanding of the core value of public servants. Finally, a secondary data is used to analyze the ethical values that Taiwan's public servants consider important in 2018 and the characteristics of individuals and institutions that influence ethical values. The study found that new public management and new public services affect Taiwan's personnel policy. Ten years later, the value of clean government has been greatly enhanced, which means that the government has successfully promoted relevant ethical policies. Except the change of position, the personal and institutional characteristics will affect the ethical value of public servants. Finally, the ethical value of public service has been written into the vows of public servants. Concern is the most important value to be promoted in 2018. After ten years of promotion, the core value of public servants has become the culture of public institutions.
