论行政行为伦理妥协——批评与建设性的视角

Analysis on Ethical Compromise of Administrative Behavior——A Critical and Constructive Perspective

行政行为伦理妥协是行政主体在行政活动中面对价值选择空间时囿于某种压力做出了暂时选择较低层次行政价值的行为,它的危害表现在否定行政人员的德性、破坏正常的组织制度、营造消极的组织文化、降低公共行政的合法性。行政行为伦理妥协产生的原因包括客观存在的行政伦理困境,上级和组织的制约,行政人员缺乏伦理决策技巧。我们应该通过塑造超越性身份认同,构建道德化的行政制度,实施系统有效的救济手段,提高行政人员伦理决策技巧以及培育公共信仰、营造道德氛围等手段来压缩行政行为伦理妥协存在的空间以致最终根除它。

Ethical compromise of administrative behavior is a temporary choice of the lower value behaviors in which the administrative subject who confronts the choice space of value is constrained by pressure. Its harm is mainly in the following four aspects： denying the administrator＇s virtue, destroying the normal organizational institution, creating a negative organizational culture, and lowering the legality of the public administration. The reasons of ethical compromise of administrative behavior include administrative ethical dilemma as objective realities, restrictions from superiors and organization, and the lack of ethical decisionmaking skills of administrators. To eliminate ethical compromise of administrative behavior, we should model the transcendence identities, establish the moralized institution, take the systematic and effective remedial measures, improve the ethical decisionmaking skills of administrators and build an ethical environment.
