Such an interpretation has major implications for the civic obligations of public servants. Among them are obligations to encourage civic autonomy; to govern by persuasion; to transcend the corruptions of power; and to become civic exemplars. Because these vital civic responsibilities have been neglected in recent years, it is argued that public administration should take the lead in promoting them as standards of good government. - Reproduced Civil service - United States Civil service International Journal of Public Administration 34270 34270 34270 0 0 0 0 IIPA IIPA 2018-07-19 Volume no: 20, Issue no: 4-5 AR34500 2018-07-19 2018-07-19 AR
