[IPAC-List] Organizational Ethics Scale or Questionnaire Items?

[Lance Seberhagen]

What is the objective of MSPB’s proposed ethics survey?

If you want to compare the Executive Branch to other organizations, you 
might want to use a standardized instrument like the Ethical Climate 
Questionnaire that has been administered to a variety of organizations.

If you want to assess compliance or agreement with the Executive Branch 
Ethics Code, you should use a survey that is specifically designed to 
measure that ethics code.The Executive Branch Ethics Code is generally 
defined by Public Law 96-303 (1980), EO 12674 (1989), EO 12731 (1990), 
and 5 CFR Part 2635.  Some federal agencies also have their own, 
agency-specific ethics codes.

Another approach would be to administer a standardized integrity test 
(e.g., Personnel Selection Inventory, Reid Report, or Stanton Survey) to 
Executive Branch employees.


If all else fails, do what the Intel agencies do -- administer polygraph 
tests to all federal employees and contractors every five years.
