Abstract

The present research essay deals with how the neglect of ethics in the actions of public servants has allowed the increase of acts of corruption within the public administration in the State of Sonora; it also focuses on how corruption affects the efficiency of public institutions and how the image of the performance of government and public servants has been affected. It is a descriptive and correlational type of research since it approaches different points of view such as the existing regulations in which are defined the serious administrative faults incurred by public administration employees, as well as the sanctions stipulated for said faults.

The methodology used in the realization of this project corresponds to the documentary type, since it was based on research, articles and theses of different specialized databases. It shows how in the last two

years the number of demands presented has remained practically unchanged with an average of 224 cases of administrative investigation acts, however from 2009 to date there have been 1,090 sanctions for more than 6 thousand 440 million pesos.

Finally, it deals with the importance of the formation of ethical values and the establishment of a public profile for the recruitment of government workers; that together with the strengthening of legal reforms such as the Sonora Anti-Corruption System, the patrimonial declaration three of three, transparency and accountability help to generate trust in the citizenry.

Keywords: ethics, public servants, public administration, corruption.
