The study revealed that 57 percent of employees are committed to moral practices of the public job. According to indicators, the study finds reverse relations between morals of public job and the administrative corruption. Impartiality and justice are the less morals practiced in the public job while mediation and favoritism are most cores of administrative corruption. The study analyzed level of administrative corruption on the basis of eight factors, mediation 56.3%, followed by favoritisms 51%, commission 41.3, defalcation 40.5, deleting public resources 40.3, bribery 36.5 and forging 29 percent. While level of practicing morals by employees of the public job has been measured by nine cores; honesty come first 70. 5 percent followed by accountability 67.3, committing of work 66.8, serving others 62, institutional loyalty 61.8, truth 57.5, preserving public possessions 54.5, justice 50.5 and impartiality 42.8 percent. The study, which was made by the National Institute for Administrative Sciences, caries the title of "Effects of Public Job Morals in Limiting Administrative Corruption". It aims at knowing situation of public job moralities and range of implementing them by public employee while performing his duties and effects of committing to these morals in limiting administrative corruption. The study also aims at unearthing extent of existing distinctions with statistical significance and the extent of committing to them on the basis of age, sex, family size, administrative level, period of the service and employing body. The study showed that male are more corrupt and less committed to moralities of public job than female employees of the public job across all administrative cores included in the study. The study found weak reverse relation between levels of practicing morals of public job and both monthly salary and educational qualification. However, there is strong reverse relation between administrative corruption and both work, monthly salary, educational qualifications and years of experiences. Despite measures taken by the government for fighting corruption and limiting it, these measures could not eradicate corruption. The study referred this failure to weakness of implementation of these measures and lacking to suitable procedures and necessary conditions for supporting them.

The study came out with a number of recommendations for improving commitment of practicing morals of public job and limiting administrative corruption. The most important of these recommendations are working on enhancing morals that has realized highest ratios in moralities' measurements; honesty, accountability, helping others, commitment to work and giving priority for fighting administrative corruption practices that realized highest ratios such mediation, favoritisms and blackmailing.
