What are the relevance of Sociology to Public Administration?

Within the area of public and also private administration, ethics are important. In public affairs, it is vital for the citizens of a society to know that public officials are not corrupt or lie about the functions they are part of of actually administer for the benefit of society. Truth is valued and public officials serve the public and are therefore answerable to them. This holds true in private organizations as well. Employees and stockholders want management to adhere to good ethics in operating a corporation. Failures to do this, hurt the public's image of a company and cause employees of the company to not trust their managers. Eventually such a company will either change for the good or dissolve itself.
