Development of Bureaucratic Integrity and Ethical Competence in Public Administration

Abstract

Superior bureaucratic competence is a major factor in ensuring the effectiveness of government and the quality of public services. The success of public administration is highly dependent on integrity, professionalism, and high ethical standards among state apparatus. Bureaucratic integrity is an important element in creating transparency, accountability, and building public trust in government institutions. Values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, and commitment to the public interest must be the main foundation in every bureaucratic policy and action. The mental revolution acts as a transformative approach in instilling integrity values ​​in the bureaucracy, by emphasizing changes in the mindset and work culture of state apparatus to be more oriented towards the interests of the community. The principles of good governance, such as clear division of labor, responsible authority, discipline, and fairness in managing human resources, are determining factors in creating an efficient and professional bureaucracy. In addition, modern bureaucracy is required to have leadership skills, innovation, and adaptation to global changes and technological advances. The application of the principle of reinventing government offers a solution to increase bureaucratic efficiency through innovation, healthy competition, and orientation towards results and public satisfaction. By prioritizing integrity, transparency, and a meritocracy-based system, the bureaucracy can be more responsive to the needs of the community and contribute to sustainable national development.
