Due to the critical corruptions revealed in superior governments in recent years,
people tended to question the probity of the government, even resulted in crisis of
governance and attenuation of national competitiveness. Therefore the issues with ethics
decision among government and moral principles of functionaries have undoubtedly
become significant to be examined and solved, after the 2008 election.
The moral value cognitions and dicisions of functionaries currently appear to be
dinamic and complex. This research thus adopts in-depth interviews with first-level
directors in Taitung County Government. Concepts of Normative Ethics and Applied
Ethics, which were introduced in the research of domestic scholar Xiao Wu-tong, were
adopted as the foundation of this research. Ten decisive values and controversial issues
were employed in this research to examine local government director¡¦s dilemma of
moral deciding based on their personal judgments and basic assumptions.
This research discovered that most directors, who were interviewed, consider
pursuing on long-term loyalty on the basis of laws and regulations as the objective.
Directors, who are local elites and also subordinates of magistrate, always have moral
conflicts. They highly agree with that a superintendent¡¦s promises and model himself
are beneficial to form an incorruptible organization culture. Unified rules are lacked to
regulate service ethics of functionaries. The establishment of exclusive organizations
dealing with ethics and laws, and the integration of against corruption agencies, still
require more efforts. For instance, the mechanism of civil services professions, the
legislation of protection to expose bribery, the set up of crime of properties from
unknown source into current ¡§Act on Property-Declaration by Public Servants¡¨ are
practical matters need to be concerned. In the end, this research proposed several
suggestions, providing government as references for planning acting administrative
ethics, and rehabilitate peoples¡¦ trust toward government.
