Abstract

The efficient and proper functioning of a state is based on the fairness, probity and professionalism of those who hold positions within the local and central apparatus of state leadership. The workplace represents, most often, an individual’s position within the society and it can provide more or less power. Enchanted by this power and by the desire to acquire material gains easily, some state officials misuse the power given by their workplace, and, thus, the proper functioning of state institutions suffer together with the other members of the society.
