Xây dựng văn hóa đạo đức công vụ: Từ nhận thức đến hành động trong đội ngũ cán bộ, công chức hiện nay

In the process of developing Vietnam’s political system, the contingent of cadres and civil servants plays a particularly important role. In addition to political qualities and professional competence, public service ethics form the foundation for strengthening people’s trust in state institutions and promoting the sustainable development of the country. The 13th National Congress of the Party emphasized the requirement to “build a contingent of cadres at all levels, especially leaders and managers, with sufficient qualities, capabilities, and credibility to meet their tasks; resolutely combat individualism, opportunism, pragmatism, factionalism, and group interests”(1), identifying this as a key task for improving the effectiveness and efficiency of state governance. However, in reality, there remain deviations in public service behavior, ranging from bureaucratic, authoritarian practices to ethical violations, which damage the image of cadres in the eyes of the people. In the new context, building a culture of public service ethics is not only a matter of awareness but must be concretized through specific actions, closely linked with modern, transparent, and effective public management institutions.
