by Silvia FISSI & Elena GORI & Alberto ROMOLINI - 49-61 Ethical Values and the Human Resources Behaviour in Public Management Abstract: The role of ethical behaviour in public management is crucial for the public organizations’ results and for the citizens’ satisfaction. This idea is already demonstrated by several studies and the practitioners share it. There are limited knowledge about how the newly emerged politico-administrative dichotomy in the Balkans has influenced the formation of ethical behaviour along the management process and how this should be updated, taking into account that it is permanently influenced by regional cultures, by public managers and politicians. The main objectives of this paper are: (1) to identify some features of the human resources behaviour during the management process; (2) to underline the main reasons for unethical behaviour, (3) to identify some recommendations for creating and maintaining an ethically-oriented behaviour. The research methodology was based on questionnaire and included forty persons from the central government level. The paper concludes with some recommendations for improving the ethical behaviour of the human resources involved in the public management process at the central Romanian government

by Mihai Constantin Razvan BARBU - 78-96 Study regarding Theatres' Role in Increasing Urban Competitiveness Abstract: The analysis of successful experiences in urban development shows that one important vector in increasing the popularity of a metropolis, so necessary in urban competition, is the theatre-logo. La Fenice in Venice, Royal Theatre in Madrid, La Scala in Milan, Globe Theatre in London, Broadway the Boulevard of theatres in New-York, Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow are not only places of cultural production, but true symbols of the city, mandatory points on the numerous tourists' maps. For Romania, and especially for Bucharest, the I.L. Caragiale National Theatre represents a true national cultural brand, one of the main generators of the country's cultural image. In the current context of the restoration and its consolidation, the present study confirms that the National Theatre can become a complex centre, unique in its own way, demonstrating a versatile cultural vocation, and increasingly contributing to the strategic development of Bucharest, beyond its well-known performances
