  • Leadership in the British Civil Service

    Open AccessRichard A Chapman, Barry J O''Toole et al.ARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration2010Cited by: 3References: 3

    This article is essentially a polemic. The argument is that when politicians and officials now talk of ‘leadership’ in the British civil service they do not use that word in the way in which it was previously used. In the past leading civil servants, acting in partnership with ministers and within constitutional constraints, exercised leadership in the sense of setting example, inspiring confidence and encouraging loyalty. The loosening of tradit…

  • The Framework of Ethical Compliance in the UK

    Open AccessBarry J O’tooleARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration2007Cited by: 1References: 12

    This article raises questions about whether the system for ethical compliance in the public services of the UK is proportionate to the perceived problem of unethical behaviour. The article uses examples from local government, the civil service and Ministers of the Crown. More research needs to be undertaken on these interconnected topics, but problems identified here include: the possibility that the ethical compliance system for local councillor…

  • The Challenge of Change in the Civil Service

    This is an article of record.

The article has no methodological pretensions, and is essentially based on official documents and other publicly available records or information. Three of the most important of these sources are: first, the evidence and report of the Hutton Inquir…

  • The Role of the Civil Service

    Open AccessRichard A Chapman, Barry J O''Toole et al.ARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration1995Cited by: 6References: 2

    From 1854 until the late 1960s the civil service developed greater uniformity and tighter central control. In the 1980s, that process was deliberately reversed, with the establishment of executive agencies and the delegation from the centre of many management responsibilities. The question of standards of conduct was not much considered when those changes were made: the need for efficiency and effectiveness in the delivery of resources was given …

  • T. H. Green and the Ethics of Senior Officials in British Central Government

    Open AccessBarry J O’toole, BARRY J OTOOLEARTICLEPublic Administration1990Cited by: 3References: 5

    This article is an attempt to move away from microeconomics in the study of administration and to concentrate on British administrative ethics from a philosophical perspective. Thus, ethics is used here not in the sense of the ethics of managers dealing with accounts but as the ‘science’ of ranking moral values. The intention of the article is to examine how political theory can be used to help illustrate the dilemmas of public servants working i…

  • The 'Next Steps' and Control of the Civil Service

    Open AccessBarry J O''Toole, Barry J O’toole et al.ARTICLEPublic Policy and Administration1989Cited by: 2References: 1

    This article suggests that the report by the Government's Efficiency Unit on 'Improving Management in Government: The Next Steps' has potential implica tions for the system of accountability and control in the Civil Service which have not been fully considered. Questions are raised about why current procedures evolved in the way that they did, examining in particular the development of establishment control in the second half of the nineteenth ce…
