dc.description.abstract	The paper discusses the effect of awareness of legislation on the ethical performance of Local Government Administrators in Uganda. This paper was premised on the fact that there were intense complaints about unethical behaviors among Local Government Administrators in the country. This abounds in spite of the numerous laws that were enacted and implemented. The objective was to analyze the effect of awareness of legislation on the ethical performance of Local Government Administrators in Uganda. Using a cross-sectional survey, methods especially self-administered questionnaires; interviews; review of primary documents, and secondary literature were applied. The findings were that awareness of legislation had a moderate positive significant (r (226) = .629, p<0.01) relationship with ethical performance. Local Government Administrators were aware of the contents of the Constitution of the Republic of Uganda (1995) as the supreme law. This implied that awareness of legislation among Local Government Administrators was important for policymakers, policy implementers, practitioners, and the community. So the study recommended that a combination of awareness of legislation and training in moral virtues be offered so as to improve ethical performance.	en_US
