In our country, some arrangements have been made to be a manifestation of a developing management approach within the framework of public administration. In this context, a number of innovations were made for the development of ethical culture and the formation of ethical awareness in the public sector. The most concrete step taken regarding the establishment of an ethical culture in public administration has been the enactment of Law No. 5176 on the Establishment of an Ethics Committee for Public Servants. The Ethics Committee of Public Servants was established within the scope of the law. The Board has been given many duties and responsibilities related to the development of an ethical culture in the public sector. In line with the same purpose, in accordance with Article 29 of the Regulation on the Principles of Ethical Behavior for Public Servants and Application Procedures and Principles, which entered into force on 13/04/2005, municipalities are obliged to form an Ethics Commission, as in other public institutions. In this study, the work of the Public Servants Ethics Committee and the Municipalities Ethics Commission, their cooperation, the structural conditions of the boards and commissions, their functioning and problems are discussed, and some solution suggestions are tried to be put forward. Literature review and field research are determined as the study method. In the field research, evaluations are made on the opinions of Adana and Gaziantep Metropolitan Municipality Ethics Commission members. As a result of the study, it has been concluded that the Ethics Commissions established in municipalities are a symbolic commission because they do not have sanction power, their legal legislation contains deficiencies and their existence is little known in the public. It has been concluded that to establish the ethical management culture in municipalities and to implement ethical norms, it is necessary to ensure the adoption of these principles beyond legal regulations. |
