Abstract

Public ethics is the standard for recruiting civil servants and the standard for assessing the quality of civil servants in Vietnam, which is regulated in detail by law, because civil servants are given state power to perform public duties, serving the political goals of the state, serving the people. In terms of theoretical research and practice of state management, public ethics is mentioned to include many contents, of which the author has generalized into two core contents that have been built into two constituent contents and have a direct impact on the public ethics of civil servants, namely: Political qualities; Service attitude. Based on the theoretical framework developed, the author surveyed the opinions of 390 leaders of commune-level government agencies of 3 provinces representing 3 regions of Vietnam, including: Quang Ninh province (North), Quang Ngai province (Central), Hau Giang province (South). The purpose of the survey is to collect information to assess the practical ethics of public servants at the commune level - those who directly contact and resolve people's requests. The survey results show that local leaders assess the public ethics of public servants at the commune level as reflected in both political qualities and service attitude; however, service attitude is reflected at a lower level. From the results of this study, the author discusses solutions to improve the quality of local public servants to meet the requirements of serving the state and the people.
