МОРАЛЬНО - ЕТИЧНІ ЗАСОБИ ЗНИЖЕННЯ МАСШТАБНОСТІ КОРУПЦІЙНИХ ПРОЯВІВ В УКРАЇНІ

Abstract

The article stated that the moral and ethical atmosphere that prevails in the society, strongly affects the level of corruption in the state. Considering the situation with corruption as a moral phenomenon, socio-political institutions should use methods aimed to a changing of thinking and public consciousness. In countries where bribery and other acts of corruption are rare, corruption in public consciousness is associated with great evil for the state and its citizens and doesn’t have a significant impact on public life. It was emphasized that especially dangerous influence of corruption manifests itself in undermining the moral principles of society by deforming ethical values, interests and needs of individual citizens and persons performing public functions. It is this property that is the basis and the negative background for further definition of corruption behavior. It is proved that corruption can be over come in conditions where the influence of the law is supported by moral condemnation and moral in tolerance to those who use their official position for personal gain. Therefore, only in the case of consolidation in the minds of civil servants of moral and ethical motivation in the performance of official functions can be achieved certain qualitative results of the implementation of a civilized approach in the implementation of state-government processes.
