Abstract: In the paper, contemporary values in public administration (PA) and probable course of their development are considered. The methodology used is a combination of review of relevant literature and available empirical researches, and synthesis on further development of public values that is based on the Sustainable Public Administration model. Contemporary values in public administration are presented and discussed in the light of their involvement and evolvement into the right to good administration. As demands towards public administrations and public employees will increase, public administrations will have to increase their capacity to address critical problems what will require and include also change in values – those of a system, of a PA organization and of public employees. As possible direction author offers the establishing of a sustainable public administration that will serve as a mechanism to achieve stability and equilibrium between incremental (minor) and structural (major) changes in the PA system. In this, values towards increased flexibility, creativity, innovation, risk taking and responsibility will have to be strengthen. The main contribution of the paper is in the approach that places further development and/or changes of values in public administration on the need for safeguarding the sustainability of its functioning, within the framework of the right to good administration.
