Public administration

In the public sector, public administration is the process of putting government policy into action. It is also an academic subject that examines how policy is put into action and trains civil servants to serve in the government. As a "discipline of study with a varied scope" whose primary aim is to "advance management and policies in order for government to operate," management science is defined as follows: Some of the various definitions that have been offered for the term include: "the management of public programmes," "the translation of politics into the reality that citizens see every day," "the study of policy decision, the analysis of the policies themselves, the various inputs that have produced them, and the inputs necessary to produce alternative policies. The term public administration is a mixture of two words: public and administration, which means "public administration." The concept of administration can be found in every sphere of social, economic and political life, and it refers to the fact that an organisation or institution must be properly ruled or managed in order to function properly, and it is derived from this concept that the concept of administration is derived.

Public administration is "centrally concerned with the administration of government policies and activities, as well as the behaviour of officials (typically non-elected) who are officially accountable for their conduct," according to the American Society of Public Administration. Many non-elected public employees can be called public administrators, including heads of city, county, regional, state, and federal departments, and also municipal budget directors, human resources (HR) administrators, city leaders, census managers, state mental health directors, and cabinet secretaries, to name a few examples of positions. Public administrators are government workers who work in public departments and agencies at all levels of government. They are also known as public servants.

In the United States, civil servants and academics such as Woodrow Wilson worked together to promote civil service reform in the 1880s, thus bringing public administration within the realm of higher education. According to the authors, there was "little interest in a theory of public administration" until the middle of the twentieth century, when the German sociologist Max Weber's idea of bureaucracy began to be widely disseminated. The field is multidisciplinary in nature; one of the proposals for public administration's sub-fields outlines six pillars, which include human resources, organisational theory, policy analysis, statistics, budgeting, and ethics, among other things. Public administration is a multidisciplinary field.
