Ética na Administração Pública: uma análise da percepção da comunidade universitária do Centro de Ciências Biológicas e da Saúde da Universidade Federal.

Abstract

Ethical issues are present in virtually every aspect of human life. In the Public Administration, the discussions are increasingly frequent, due to the inversion of values that is put, making the search for the common good is overcome by the promotion of particular interests. In the midst of this entire ethical crisis and its negative consequences, the issue has become an object of interest to society and academia, since it represents a risk to organizations in general and, above all, to the rule of law. Thus, considering that the UFCG, part of the indirect public administration, in the form of a special regime autarchy, constitutes a part of the Public Administration, the present research had as main objective, to analyze the perception of the university community of the Center of Biological Sciences and Health, Federal University of Campina Grande, about ethics in Public Administration. This was an exploratory-descriptive field research, using the inductive method, using as subjects of the research, the people who make up the Center of Biological Sciences and Health of the Federal University of Campina Grande, which are the students, the teaching staff, and the technical-administrative servers. After analyzing the data, the main results of the research indicated a relatively positive perception by the CCBS university community about the provision of the public service in the Center, as well as the adequacy of the servers' behavior to the existing ethical standards, even though they revealed a low index of knowledge about the Code of Professional Ethics of the Public Civil Servant of the Federal Executive Branch, the Ethics Commission of the institution and the work performed by it. In the end, some proposals were presented, aiming at promoting ethics in the University, such as the elaboration and distribution of an educational booklet, seminars on ethics in Public Administration and the creation of an internal standard of ethical conduct of the institution.
