Abstract
Public servants are expected to set behavioral examples for the community, as their conduct reflects the institutions they represent. The integrity and service orientation of these institutions are critical to maintaining public trust. However, in Indonesia, public services are currently challenged by the flexing behavior of some civil servants, which undermines bureaucratic reform efforts and erodes public trust. This paper examines the flexing phenomenon using public administration and policy theories to explore its impact on civil service performance and government credibility. By analyzing relevant literature and case studies, this study underscores the urgency of reformulating public ethics policies to address these negative behaviors and restore public trust in government institutions.
