This article explores the importance of the ethical principles of governance described in Nahj al-Balagha letter 53, written by Imam Ali, for improving the performance of Moroccan public institutions. Faced with the challenges of transparency, justice and efficiency, exacerbated by corruption and mismanagement of resources, the study highlights how the values of justice, integrity and respect for human rights can be integrated into public management. By analyzing the importance of these core values, the study demonstrates how their integration into public management can potentially lead to greater transparency, efficiency and public trust. Univariate analysis provided an in-depth understanding of the effect of each value on governance. The study reveals that justice and integrity are strongly correlated with increased levels of transparency and administrative efficiency. In addition, the charter of religious values plays a key role in promoting social cohesion and respect for human rights within institutions.
