Assessment of Public Administration Integrity Level: Between Morality and the Law
(National University of Political Studies and Public Administration, 2017) Popa, Florin Marius
In recent years, the academic and research institutions, international organizations (among which the International Monetary Fund, World Bank) have an increased interest for estimating the integrity, public administration reform and to gauge the impact of this reform on the level of economic development. From a marginal part in international aid programs, the integrity has grown to occupy a privileged position in most development programs. Currently, it is considered a key factor in good governance of a country with vast implications and whose development must be prevented. The large number of managerial incidents led to a growing interest in ethical programs within organizations. ""Respect"" and ""integrity"" are two alternative management strategies that are formulated in order to avoid moral deviations from organizations. Compliance and integrity differ regarding how the moral behavior of members of an organization can and should be achieved. The strategy focuses on explaining under a set of rules. The main objective of this paper is to analyze how the integrity within public organizations became an organizational value and not only a legal value.

(Alexandru Ioan Cuza University of Iași, 2013) Popa, Florin Marius
Corruption is a threat to democracy, to the law’s supremacy, to social equity and justice, it erodes the principles of efficient administration, undermines the market economy and endanger the stability of state institutions. Research on corruption has particularly focused on the classification of its various forms in order to operationalize the concept of analytical judgment and practical reasoning. In this context, conflict of interest represent one of the main form of manifestation of corruption in public administration.
Mapping European high-digital intensive sectors-regional growth accelerator for the circular economy
(Frontiers , 2023-01-06) Pîrciog, Speranța; Grigorescu, Adriana; Lincaru, Cristina; Popa, Florin Marius; Carlson, Ewa Lazarczyk; Sigurdarson, Hallur Thor
Globalization and the Fourth Industrial Revolution or Industry 4.0 act as shocks on regional labor markets and regional economies. The presence of a digital economy has high spillover effects on regional development, job creation, economic resilience, and sustainability; furthermore, it valuates eco-innovation and the clean economy. We believe that the process of digital transformation has a robust impact on the green and clean aspects of the entire economy. The consistency of high digital-intensive (HDI) sectors can be evaluated through high digital-intensive employment, human resources, and technological infrastructure, as these are the main pillars of digital transformation. The shift-share analysis method (SSM) is used in this study on employment growth during 2008-2018 for the EU27, the United Kingdom, and Norway, combined with a second stage of exploratory spatial data analysis (ESDA). The findings on national growth, industrial mix, and competitiveness are presented in GIS mapping system considering the Local Indicators of Spatial Association (LISA) technique at the NUTS2 level. This approach allows us to determine the clustering level of high digital-intensive employment and sectors, resilience based on connectivity and eco-innovation, and the regional potential of digital transformation. Policymakers and political or governmental decision-makers could consider the results of the present study as the starting point for developing and implementing their policies for a sustainable green regional economy and determine the emerging area patches that need to be stimulated.
