URGILES PINEDA, Mario Wilfrido. Evaluation of the impact of ethics and integrity training for public officials in Ecuador. Horizontes Rev. Inv. Cs. Edu. [online]. 2025, vol.9, n.37, pp.846-860.  Epub 24-Fev-2025. ISSN 2616-7964.  https://doi.org/10.33996/revistahorizontes.v9i37.955.

Training public servants is essential to promote transparency in their administrative management. This research aimed to determine the impact of ethics and integrity training for Ecuadorian public servants in 2024. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental design was used, including 75 officials in the pretest and 73 in the posttest, and a questionnaire was applied as an instrument. The results show a positive impact on the ethical perception of officials, with a significant increase in blameworthiness towards corruption and favoritism, especially in direct or serious conduct, going from an average of 6.5 in the pretest to 7.8 in the posttest. The differences in the results according to gender, age and experience revealed that women, young people and officials with less experience showed a notable increase in this perception. It is concluded that personalized ethical interventions are more effective and promote a culture of integrity in public administration.
