Abstract

La ética en el sector público es un tema de plena actualidad en los países latinoamericanos, como Colombia y Ecuador. Cada vez es mayor la implementación de códigos de conducta que permitan comunicar externa e internamente los valores que rigen a los entes públicos. De este modo, la investigación tuvo como objetivo realizar un análisis comparativo de los valores éticos que son fomentados por los códigos de conducta de los gobiernos de Colombia y Ecuador. Se identificaron divergencias estadísticamente significativas en la promoción de diversos valores éticos entre ambos países. En particular, Colombia es más proclive a la promoción de los valores concernientes a la mejora de la responsabilidad, transparencia, capacitación, bien común y honestidad entre los políticos y gestores públicos. ********* Ethics in the public sector is a topic of current interest in Latin American countries, such as Colombia and Ecuador. As a consequence, there is an increasing implementation of codes of conduct that allow communicating, externally and internally, the values that govern public institutions. Thus, this paper aims at carrying out a comparative analysis of the values that are encouraged by the codes of conduct of Colombian and Ecuadorian governments.As main findings, significant statistical differences in the promotion of several ethic values between the two countries were identified. Particularly, the Colombian government is more inclined to promote values about improving responsibility, transparency, training, common good, and honesty among their politicians and public officials.
