AbstractThe landscape of public administration is riddled with complexities, making ethical conduct an indispensable attribute in public service delivery. In an era where public trust in governmental institutions is wavering, enhancing the ethical competence of public servants emerges as a priority. This research is anchored in exploring the contours of ethics training within the public service sector of Bangladesh, aiming to gauge its effectiveness and areas for improvement. It strives to identify potential gaps and areas necessitating strategic enhancements, aligning the ethics training paradigms with contemporary requirements and best practices. Adopting a descriptive approach, the research harnesses secondary data sources, incorporating academic articles, reports, and surveys. A comparative analysis is conducted, juxtaposing Bangladesh's public sector ethics training against global standards and recommendations, fostering a comprehensive understanding of its strengths and areas warranting improvement. The findings reveal that despite the presence of structured ethics training modules, challenges persist. These challenges seem to manifest in incidents of misconduct and ethical discrepancies among public servants, signaling potential gaps in the training's practical applicability and effectiveness in nurturing ethical discernment. The insights garnered hold substantial implications for the enhancement of ethics training in Bangladesh's public service sector. They underscore the necessity for a meticulous review and recalibration of training strategies, advocating for a harmonised integration of theoretical knowledge and practical real-world scenarios. The study accentuates the transformative potential of revamped ethics training mechanisms in fostering a climate of integrity, professionalism, and enhanced public trust within the realm of public administration.Cite this item: Haq, S.
