Sociological compendium of ethical principles and moral good public sector governance for global impact.

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide ethical and moral good public sector governance from sociological compilation. Its significance is grounded in the global impact that ethical and moral public sector governance can contribute. Ethical actors with varied purposes complicate achievements of good public sector governance while moral agents place it under obligations and duties. State- and society-centric good public sector governance are idealised, and what constitute 'good' in good public sector governance is intricate in its non-complex and non-natural properties. Higher-level ethical principles overriding lower-level principles culminate in ethical totality. Decision-making criteria for the final cause within utilitarian theory are explicated. Moral conduct complicates application of public sector governance due to cultural relativism and ethical monotheism. Moral and amoral questions promote ethical scepticism at various levels of moral development while moral attributes are isolated to ensure that global impact is attainable when cooperatively applied.
