PUBLIC SECTOR MANAGEMENT TO ADDRESS CORRUPTION PROBLEMS

Abstract

This article was a study to find out the current state of corruption problems and situations in Thailand. Under the scope of research, articles, or surveys of the corruption perception index, which has a decreasing transparency score, which is caused by problems with morality, ethics, and sense of responsibility of government officials, lack of shame and fear, and social sanctions are not effective enough because people do not give enough importance to the values of Buddhist principles in terms of morality and ethics. Although government organizations can apply Buddhist ethics to their administration according to modern management principles to create tangible results in promoting honesty, transparency, and responsibility in the personnel systematically at the organizational level and in their own practice. The research results were found that solving corruption problems should use ethics with Buddhist principles as a guideline for managing government organizations to solve corruption problems in the long term by instilling morality and ethics in government officials as a tool for managing government organizations to create attitudes in government officials to consider that corruption is a sin and a path to deterioration. It can be applied to modern management principles, which will result in government organizations becoming more transparent, stronger in morality and ethics, and able to perform their duties in accordance with the organization’s objectives or goals effectively and raise the level of transparency further.
