Administrative Penalties for Electronic Administrative Work for Sustainable Development Goals: a Comparative Study

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to shed light on the disciplinary penalties as a result of the default violation committed by a public employee while carrying out his job duties and know how the management authority, when supervising administrative work, assesses the severity of the electronic violation for sustainable development goals. Theoretical Framework: There are several designations to indicate the act committed by the public employee while carrying out his work electronically that makes him subject to punishment, such as the term disciplinary error, disciplinary crime, disciplinary guilt, etc. Method: The use of the descriptive approach and the analytical and comparative approach in this study. Results and Discussion: This study found principles governing violations and electronic disciplinary sanctions are the same as those found in their traditional counterparts, including the legality of disciplinary sanctions, the principle of proportionality between them, and others. Also, the assessment of the electronic administrative violation is carried out through the discretionary power of the disciplinary administrative authority, similar to that of traditional violations. Research Implications: The presence of the term “electronic administration" would cause the public employee to practice his work electronically, and this may result in the occurrence of a specific act of that employee that may affect his job duties. Originality/Value: The commission of a public employee for an electronic violation leads to imposing a penalty on him to deter him and prevent him from returning to committing it. That punishment affects his job position and may lead to the imposition of the maximum penalty, which is dismissal if the violation is of a high degree of seriousness or gravity.
