How can a theorist reasonably and concisely define a field so interrelated with all of society?,The importance or the significance of public administration,The welfare, happiness, and very lives of all of us rest in significant measure upon the performance of administrative mechanisms that surround and support us. From the central matters of food and shelter to the periphery of our intellectual activity, the quality of administration in modern society touches our daily lives. Today your life may depend upon the administration of purity controls in a pharmaceutical house, tomorrow it may depend on the decisions of a state department of motor vehicles, next week it may rest with the administrative wisdom of an official in the Department of State. Willy-nilly, administration is everyones concern. If we wish to survive, we had better be intelligent about it. Dwight Waldo (The Study of Public Administration,1955,p.70),Public administration can be best identified with the executive branch of government. Public administrationis the action part of government, the means by which the purposes and goals of government are realized. Public administration as a field is mainly concerned with the means for implementing political values.,Marshall Dimock. Public administration is the production of goods and services designed to serve the needs of citizens-consumers. Robert. B. Denhardt. Public Administration is concerned with the management of public programs.,Public Administration can be portrayed as a wheel of relationships focused on the implementation of public policy. Public administration is the use of managerial, political, and legal theories and processes to fulfill legislative, executive, and judicial governmental mandates for the provision of regulatory and service functions for the society as a whole or for some segments of it.,Traditionally, public administration is thought of as the accomplishing side of government. It is supposed to comprise all those activities involved in carrying out the policies of elected officials and some activities associated with the development of those policies. Public administration is all that comes after last campaign promise and election-night cheer.,The process of public administration consists of the actions involved in effecting the intent or desire of a government. It is thus the continuously active, business part of government, concerned with carrying out the law, as made by legislative bodies (or other authoritative agents) and interpreted by the courts, through the processes of organization and management. Public administration: (a) is a cooperative group effort in a public setting; (b) covers all three branches- executive, legislative, and judicial- and their interrelationships; (c) has an important role in the formulation of public policy, and is thus part of the political process; (d) is different in significant ways from private administration; and (e) is closely associated with numerous private groups and individuals.,Waldo: Elephantine Problem,公共行政,研究者,rope,A profession Law, medicine A profession, by definition, is a field in which practitioners prepare for their work by learning specialized skills and methods as well as the scientific, historical, and scholarly principles underlying them. Perhaps it is best that it (public administration) not be defined. It is more an area of interest than a discipline, more a focus than a separate science.(Mosher) There is really no such subject as “public administration”. No science or art can be identified by this title, least of all skill or coherent intellectual discipline. The term has no relation to the world of systematic thoughtIt does not, in itself, offer any promising opportunity to widen or make more precise any signle aspect of scientific knowledge.(Parker),Its professional in the sense that it rests upon a body of knowledge not easily obtained through simple on-the-job training. A practicing administrator without such knowledge would be no more successful than a practicing engineer ignorant of mechanics.,英国政
