This research explores the role of open innovation in enhancing ethical decision-making within government organizations. As transparency, accountability, and public trust become increasingly crucial in governance, open innovation offers a collaborative approach that integrates multiple stakeholders into decision-making processes. Through a qualitative analysis of case studies, expert interviews, and policy documents, this study examines the benefits and challenges of implementing open innovation in public sector ethics. The findings highlight that open innovation fosters transparency, stakeholder collaboration, and inclusive policymaking while also presenting challenges such as bureaucratic resistance, technological limitations, and regulatory concerns. The research proposes a structured framework for integrating open innovation into ethical governance, emphasizing digital transformation, AI-driven compliance mechanisms, and policy co-creation. By bridging the gap between innovation and ethics, this study provides strategic recommendations for policymakers seeking to strengthen ethical governance through open innovation.
