Public Administration 101
Think of public administration as the way the government gets stuff done. It's like managing a huge, complex machine that keeps everything running smoothly. It's the behind-the-scenes work that makes sure our roads are built, schools are open, and laws are enforced.
Key Principles:
-
Policymaking: Figuring out what needs to be done and why.
-
Bureaucracy: The team of government workers who make things happen.
-
Public Services: Stuff like roads, hospitals, and schools provided by the government.
Money Matters: How the government collects and spends money.
Managing People: Hiring, training, and supervising public employees.
