Title
Accountability Through Ethics Enhancement Strategies: Empirical Evidence From American Cities
Abstract
This article examines the relationship between ethics enhancement strategies and accountability. Using data from a national survey of city managers, the authors find that the ethics enhancement strategies of role modeling, ethics development, and ethics enforcement and review may significantly increase accountability efforts in cities. This research supports the argument that ethics enhancement strategies increase accountability by improving public workers’ willingness to be open to public scrutiny. © 2002 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
