analysisofdodsst00maru.pdf (10.74Mb)Abstract
The standards of conduct , DOD Directive 5500.7, establish
the basic guidelines for ethical behavior for all Department
of Defense (DOD) personnel. Based on the author's review of
literature and interviews conducted with Federal law enforcement
agencies, the standards are adequately doing their job,
prescribing the required standards of ethical conduct. As a
means to continue to accomplish this task and enhance its role,
a "Study Guide of Ethics and Standards of Conduct" has been
developed for use by procurement personnel. The study guide
amplifies the major areas of the standards through the use
of lectures, group discussions and relevant case examples.
Its purpose is to keep the standards fresh in the minds of
procurement personnel and relevant to the ethical challenges
they may encounter.
