Rules of Conduct and Ethical Behavior in the Civil Service

Case Study#5

A government property should be utilized properly whether it’s just a simple office supply. Using government properties in any form for personal is not proper. The government purchased those supplies, which came from public funds sourced from the taxpayer, not for the employee’s used but official business only. In the case given, I would take Cynthia’s side. The act of Emy was a form of stealing government property because it does not belong to her.

Bringing home office supplies to be used for personal interest is obviously unethical and unbecoming. This may gave wrong perceptions of all the government officials or employees. People who have knowledge of an employee doing such thing will make wrong conclusions or generalizations on government employees. As mentioned in R.A 6713 that public officials and employees shall utmost devotion and dedication to the duty. Finally, a government employee has the responsibility to take care of every government property and utilize them properly for public interest and not for personal one.
