To address an ethical question seeks to pass a situation that confronts us for a course of action that will seek to resolve it, in a movement of description and prescription. Between these two stages, or type of reflection involved and very important for the development of ethical-administrative responsibility and for the management of public interest and common good. This theoretical paper aims to present practical perspectives for making ethical decisions in Public Administration, considering elements of the normative and descriptive dimensions of administrative ethics. The proposed decision-making process can be seen as a support for ethical decisionmaking, understanding moral dilemmas and the context in which ethical decisions arise in the Public Administration, as well as the lack of development of morally competent and rationally responsible public agents.

Purpose: The purpose of this article is to understand the moral dilemmas experienced by managers in the area of people management and development at a Federal Higher Education Institution (IFES), during the Covid-19 pandemic, from the perspective of the administrative ethics. Methodology: We chose a qualitative approach and conducted semi-structured interviews with six managers in the area, and documental analysis in the official IFES website about the coronavirus. We analyzed the data analysis based on categories related to the management and ethics dimensions, which were taken from the theoretical review. Main results: The discourses point to the following dilemmas: 1) What activities are essential and who will carry them out; 2) In-person public examination for faculty hiring; 3) The invasion of private space by the remote work and the coldness of the virtual service; and 4) Productivity and flexibility, inability to work and absence. Academic contributions: The article contributes to the theoretical-empirical debate on administrative ethics, from real moral dilemmas in the context of a public institution and from the perspective of moral action, putting light on the decision between right versus right, that is, the moral dilemmas. Practical contributions: Managers' discourses highlight a contribution of the dilemmas identified to administrative practice: they can act as a source of moral, personal and organizational learning. By reviewing administrative and regulatory procedures caused by a dilemma, as well as by looking at their own conduct, ethical conflicts might mean an opportunity for knowledge and learning for those involved.

Due to the pandemic of the new coronavirus, Brazilian public management has made decisions of public interest that directly impact the lives of practically all Brazilians and present several intrinsic ethical issues. From this context, this article aims to identify and discuss some of the main moral dilemmas that challenge Brazilian public management in the face of the pandemic. To this end, news reports were selected from journalistic websites that presented dilemmas that occurred or are still occurring in Brazil. Six thematic areas were identified: social distancing; use of big data in the pandemic's management; the performance of health professionals; federal emergency aid and bureaucracy; school closures and online learning; and release of prisoners as a preventive measure. It was observed that, in contexts of crisis, citizens and public managers are displaced from their status quo, which leads to new forms of moral reasoning. These issues demand continuous reflection and debate on the ethical aspects of the pandemic, especially to the governments' social and moral obligations and the limits of such disruption to citizen's rights in a period of crisis.

Based on the assumption that social science reaches more significant levels of development as it promotes dialogues among diverse cognitive perspectives, the objective of this paper is to analyze the paradigms present in the research field of the executive secretariat in Brazil. The exploration of 270 articles demonstrated that a significant part of the production seems to refer either to the proposal of management techniques or methodologies focused on the productive effectiveness of the organizations, or to the adaptation of the secretarial professional to the work context. We concluded that the field has developed itself, mainly, according to a functionalist conception of science, limited to the production of useful knowledge and to the stimulus of an objective procedural vision. Therefore, it tends to disregard the subjectivity, the historicity and the context of each scenario. Given these findings, we argue that the coexistence of technical, practical-communicative and emancipatory interests will enable the research field in executive secretariat to develop itself with wealth and reflexivity.
