Ethics is the set of criteria that distinguishes a human being from right or wrong. It is also a narrow sense of code of conduct. This is a guideline (list of rules and principles) for employees working in the public sector to tell them whether their behavior is right or wrong, which will tell them whether to take something or not. In the same way, ethics is a principle of personal conduct. The rule or principle that distinguishes our conduct from right or wrong is the ethics that apply from the code of conduct. In particular, the required conduct is implemented by including it in the law.
This principle can be applied worldwide. Therefore, ethics is an absolute criterion of such qualities as honesty, unwavering value, and reliability. It can be implemented by following the code of conduct. Therefore, a code of conduct or morality provides guidance to employees and public officials in case of conflict between personal desires or interests and public responsibility. This is a standard that must be observed in relation to the employee's work behavior.
