If there are ethical problems such as corruption in such organizations, the administrative answer typically is added rules, more complex procedures, and greater sanctions. In other words, we increase organizational red tap to confront our ethical problem directly. Using a systems modeling approach informed by Kohlberg's moral development theory and Friedrich's view of "inner controls" we suggest (a) more direct method to assess the level of ethical development in organizations and (b) a technique by which to improve-sector organization productivity that places greater emphasis on individual morality rather than on more adminstrative controls
