Abstract

The present complexity cannot be grasped by endless enumeration of objective factors. Each choice reveals what a person is believed to be; each choice shapes people through the effects that it produces/fails to produce. Individual and personal characteristics thus cannot be controlled only by the law, because the latter is enforced by persons. Research should be moved to a higher level where they could be controlled and implemented through values if their basic human properties could be known that operate also within public administration. No area can be taken as final; no single conviction will always give the right answer in a new or different set of circumstances that requires a different approach and a new conviction based on it. A culture of dialogue should be hence established through whistleblowing and other adjustments, using a central perspective on situations from the highest management combined with a horizontal one to provide information. In both perspectives, public employees are the sine qua non for good administration.
