Public administration is "centrally concerned with the organization
of government policies and programmes as well as the behavior of
officials (usually non-elected) formally responsible for their conduct" Many unelected public servant
can be considered to be public administrators, including heads of city,
county, regional, state and federal departments such as municipal
budget directors, human resources (H.R.) administrators, city managers, census managers, state mental health directors, and cabinet secretarial.Public administrators are public servants working in public departments and agencies, at all levels of government.
In the US, civil servants and academics such as promoted American civil service reform in the 1880s, moving public administration into academias.However, "until the mid-20th century and the dissemination of the German sociologist s theory of bureaucracy" there was not "much interest in a theory of public administration."The field is multidisciplain in character; one of the various proposals for public administration's sub-fields sets out six pillars, including human resources, organizational theory, policy analysis and statistics, budgeting, and ethics.
n 1947 Paul H
defined public administration as "public leadership of public affairs
directly responsible for executive action". In a democracy, it has to do
with such leadership and executive action in terms that respect and
contribute to the dignity, the worth, and the potentials of the citizen. One year later, Gordon Clapp, then Chairman of the Tennes Authorities
defined public administration "as a public instrument whereby
democratic society may be more completely realized." This implies that
it must "relate itself to concepts of justice, liberty, and fuller
economic opportunity for human beings" and is thus "concerned with
"people, with ideas, and with things."According to James D. Carroll & Alfred M. Zuck, the publication by "Woodrow Wilson of his essay, " in 1887 is generally regarded as the beginning of public administration as a specific field of study".Drawing on the democracy theme and discarding the link to the executive branch, asserts that public administration "deals with the stewardship and implementation of the products of a living democracy."
The key term "product" refers to "those items that are constructed or
produced" such as prisons, roads, laws, schools, and security. "As
implementors, public managers engage these products." They participate
in the doing and making of the "living" democracy. A living democracy is
"an environment that is changing, organic", imperfect, inconsistent and
teaming with values. "Stewardship is emphasized because public
administration is concerned "with accountability and effective use of
scarce resources and ultimately making the connection between the doing,
the making and democratic values.
