Public Administration - Science topic

What do you expect from me in this field? As it observes. there are some principles of public administration that are widely. should be include, depending on your country real condition with that many kind of the areas will be studied. to access to service. @

sorry sir , i don't have research experience in your area of research

Dos premisas: la primera, ¿qué es lo que se entiende por políticas populistas? Emitir moneda para la seguridad social es populismo pero emitir para salvar los bancos no lo es. ¿Qué hace la diferencia? Segunda: las políticas y economistas zombis de que habla Paul Krugman son un buen punto de referencia para mirar la efectividad de la intervención estatal.

The efficient administration always indulged itself for the better outcomes.it perform obligation to bring the revolutionary changes for the set up . it need to focus on the weaknesses of the system to make amendment for ultimate results

Mr. Farhangi, first of all Public Administration is a vast subject, so you have need to choose a specific area or branch of the subject as your interest of study area; where your supervisor will help you. At first you have need decided to select the area from theoretical part or practice part of the subject, then you can able to choose the topic for your research. There are so many issues are in practice part such as service delivery, governance, local government, public policies, corruption, various public institutions, NGOs, relationship between government and market etc. But you have need to consult with your supervisor provided by your institution where you are enrolled as a Ph. D research scholar.

Governments don't act in the interests of people, nor of innovation labs, collaboratively nor in any other human sense. They follow their manifestos which are composed and influenced by foreigners and foreign business aims, and almost never with home business aims nor anything which could remotely be associated with humanity.

It might be worth examining whether "leadership" actually play a role in strategic planning before seeking to identify an appropriate methodology to measure the extent of that. Here and there, the public sector operates under an exigent set of concerns, demands, interests, pressures, and restrictions that make it an open—and therefore complex when not chaotic—system. What strategic planning comes to pass is politically directed from above and is typically characterized by crisis, organizational turnarounds, and a modicum of bottom-up thinking. What with the changes in government, time horizons are typically short. In these circumstances, a more fruitful research question would investigate what steps (if any) the public sector can take to mitigate the above-mentioned obstacles, promote a culture of strategy, leverage an organization’s purpose to catalyze action, transform the operating model, and build a system for execution and learning.

Thank you, Ivaylo! You provided an incredible example of well structured research that may be used as a baseline. Is there any opportunity to observe digital copy of the book?

In Brazil there is a constitutional article that allows the deployment of the armed forces for the "guarantee of law and order".

If you´re interested, perhaps this paper could be useful:

I also wrote about it in my master thesis, but the original text is in Portuguese:

If you find the Brazilian case to be useful for your research, I´ll be glad to provide more information.

make with SWOT analysis.

SWOT stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats, and so a SWOT analysis is a technique for assessing these four aspects of your business.

SWOT Analysis is a tool that can help you to analyze what your company does best right now, and to devise a successful strategy for the future. SWOT can also uncover areas of the business that are holding you back, or that your competitors could exploit if you don't protect yourself.

A SWOT analysis examines both internal and external factors – that is, what's going on inside and outside your organization. So some of these factors will be within your control and some will not. In either case, the wisest action you can take in response will become clearer once you've discovered, recorded and analyzed as many factors as you can.

SWOT seems simple, but, if used carefully and collaboratively, it can be very revealing. For example, you may be well aware of some of your organization's strengths, but until you record them alongside weaknesses and threats you might not realize how unreliable those strengths actually are. Equally, you likely have reasonable concerns about some of your business weaknesses but, by going through the analysis systematically, you could find an opportunity, previously overlooked, that could more than compensate.

In this article, video and infographic, we explore how to carry out a SWOT analysis, and how to put your findings into action. We also include a worked example and a template to help you get started on a SWOT analysis in your own workplace.

I sat in the Public Investment Committee of Parliament (Kenya) from 1992 to 1999 and during that time, I attended a number of Public Accounts Committee sittings too. In Kenya, whereas the Public Accounts Committee looks at the Accounts of Ministries, the Public Investment Committee looks at the Accounts of State Corporations.

Within the context of Public Administration, the Public Accounts Committee is a watchdog committee expected to check the utilization of public funds expended by the Executive. Thus first there are supposed to check-

This role can however be performed effectively only if Parliament is not "captured" by the Executive and if Political Parties are strong and the opposition can effectively play its role of checking on the government. So in terms of Public Administration- resource allocation is key to implementation of public policies which is expected to be citizen centric.

From that perspective there could be numerous challenges that face these committees. Where the Executive (President) is powerful, the line between top public servants and politicians is very thin. Most senior public servants are actually political appointees who cannot even be sanctioned by the Parliamentary Committee. Thereby rendering the work of the Parliamentary Committee and any finding inconsequential.

Dear Phil Barbonis,

I'm in a hurry to answer. Well, the above-mentioned chambers of commerce are created by entrepreneurs running companies and enterprises operating within specific industries and sectors of the economy. In chambers of commerce, entrepreneurs are associated in order to jointly work out solutions to specific economic problems, develop new solutions and innovations, develop ways and methods of more effective implementation of innovations and ways of solving economic problems, and then submit these proposals to parliamentary circles, parliamentary teams of politicians and experts lobbying specific solutions. This is how a large part of the national and regional chambers of commerce in the country in which I operate operate. In individual countries, there are different chambers of commerce, they have different statutory goals, and have different functions and organizational culture. Maybe this results in a different interpretation of the role and importance of chambers of commerce in my and your statements.

Public policy making; Covid-19 perspective

Dear Vladimir Fagundes,

Thank you for answering the question:

How to increase the efficiency of state delivery of public goods?

You indicated the key factors of improving institutional solutions for creating and offering public goods to citizens and the important factors of developing cooperation between institutions of the public and private sector.

Thank you, Greetings,

Dariusz Prokopowicz

In 2019, the Development Assistance Committee of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development adopted a new set of evaluation criteria for development projects and programs. The six evaluation criteria are (a) relevance (Is the intervention doing the right things?); (b) coherence (How ell does the intervention fit?); (c) effectiveness (Is the intervention achieving its objectives?); (d) efficiency (How well are resources being used?); (e) impact (What difference does the intervention make?); and (f) sustainability (Will the benefits last?). The OECD-DAC criteria (rather than the "models" this query alludes to) are eminently appropriate to measure the effectiveness of public programs (and are used as a matter of routine to evaluate development projects and programs around the world).

The application of knowledge management in the public sector is driven in part by the same factors as in the business sector: more efficient and professional task performance, and thus better responsiveness to community needs. The public sector is generally unable, or only to a very limited extent, to provide financial incentives for the creation and sharing of new knowledge, as opposed to the private sector. As part of the knowledge management function, the public sector is also responsible for the development of citizens. Training should cover all stages of individual development.

Many thanks , I also came to the conclusion that there is a reluctance by states to adopt new technologies in their procedures for official recognition of foreign qualifications. But isn't that odd at a time where all governments are talking about digitization of their services to citizens and e-administration? I think it is worth deepening where the obstacles are: on the administration side or on the technology developer side?

Best regards

Dear Azizxon Ahmedov , Congratulations on the interesting topic of discussion! Indeed, the debate about the application of innovative tools in public management is gaining momentum again. My view is that in the coming years these methods and techniques will expand their meaning and role. I advise you to continue your efforts in this topic! Stay healthy!

Mozumder M.H. M. I think you will find some interesting subjects in the following link published article.

Julius Ofanson Proposal Submission: 30th October 2020 Proposal Acceptance/Rejection: 15th November 2020 Full Chapter Submission: ` 15th January 2021

The article you mentioned, doesn't seem to have any DOI or URL. The webpage of the journal also only shows from volume 36 (year 2001), while the article you are searching was published back in 1994. Very difficult to find indeed. I hope you somehow find it. GL.

To stop vast emigration from Your country in general, and to stop vast emigration of intellectuals too. Of course, this refers only to those countries, which suffer from vast brain emigration (as many developing countries and such countries as Lithuania and Latvia in the Baltics).

But it is easy to recommend, difficult to implement.

I am motivated by intrinsic factors for example a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction in my work. And yes, work needs to be fun to be motivating! Doing something that is enjoyable to do and offers intellectual challenges, having control over how the work is completed and the goal accomplished, increasing responsibility, empowerment and recognition. Finally in my case the ability to help others. I believe most public service employees are motivated by these types of intrinsic factors.

Work-based policy should be implemented in universities where students gain marks through internship say 60% and 40% written exam which include theory, presentation and research.

Dear Prof. Joseph Tham,

Because Economics has a large group of scientists from different fields working on its principles.

They welcome theoretical physicists, but when a theoretical physicist will welcome a leading economist to have a say in their field?

Seeking public administration co-production research on food policy councils and on civic technology will certainly not work in Nigeria. The main reason is the maximum and complexity of corruption that are the trade mark and culture in Nigeria. Money for such development are embezzled with impunity. That is why WE BIAFRANS WANT BIAFRA INDEPENDENCE from Nigeria, so that we can have a genuine and well-focused development for our beloved country BIAFRA.

Joseph Tham this is a great question and I applaud your efforts to plumb the ethical dimensions. I wonder if the responses would be equally well-received if it was inverted asking pretty much the same thing. " Would it be ethically acceptable to decline monetary incentives to those not reporting sanctioned health behaviors, such as daily walks?

Interesting as this scheme sounds similar to other health care and insurance company incentives. If I go for yearly check-ups, wellness visits etc., I receive a $500 dollar reduction on my health care premiums. Of course, I engage in this behavior because of the "incentive". But it could be equally be seen as punitive if I don't engage in these behaviors. It is designed so that my behaviors are not private. Sanctioned behavior becomes one of the public (or at least medical) records to be used in whatever fashion is deemed appropriate by whoever has access.

There are many ways these could be decoupled. They could have other parties that monitor the behavior and provide the incentive from stakeholders without telling the stakeholders who is receiving the benefit. Separating the validation from the medical and insurance records would encourage behavior while preserving privacy. But I suspect this, like so many other things, is not about promoting positive behavior as it is about mitigating risk and the affiliated cost of private information. So, while it is a blunt tool, it may be the best one available to all involved.

Hi, I work as a PhD student in Public Administration in the Netherlands. I think methods differ depending on your research question. For instance, if you are interested in understanding the meaning people give to a certain event, it might be good to use qualitative methods. If you are however looking to establish causality, an experiment might be suitable.

As much as parents are the first source of information a child gathers , they can't only be blamed for inequality. Religious beliefs, policies and prevalent cultural paradym also play major roles. So i will say societal inequality is a combination of different aspect of societal life.

Samy Azer I agree that universities and schools have to support equality of opportunity, and provide all relevant information. But they may not necessarily support equality of outcomes and results. Agree? Or comments?

Lack of concern and care for others. GED is a big word and encompasses many dimensions which is not easy to measure. Like all latent variable and concepts we need to test for validity and reliability before we can be sure of what we are measuring.

Dear Arvydas,

Innovativeness is the most productive way of adaptability. I first proved this in 1993-1997 in a longitudinal study of Russian industrial enterprises which passed the deep post-Soviet transformational economic and social crisis. the greatest importance to achieve the proper adaptability is to allow and to promote innovativeness at all organizational levels.

Dear Vardan,

My advice is not to look to the best international practices -- you cannot replicate the Conference Board, American Enterprise Institute, the Brooking Institution, the RAND Corporation or EIU.

In post-USSR countries there are just three types of striving thin tanks

1) extensions of particular ministries (ministry of finance, ministry of economy) performing outsourcing works to their major clients using the government money. The development strategy is simple -- to expand the basis of clients with gradual serving two, three ministries etc. The moment of truth in your strategy is to present or do not present in your report a point which totally contradicts the opinion of your client (minister, deputy minister etc.);

2) networks of researchers serving industry (employers) associations. Here you strategy is to extract data from participants of such associations and to present it back in a fresh interesting way with some assertive arguments for the benefits of the members of associations;

3) 'brain departments' of influential political parties. Here your strategy is dualistic -- be able to produce attractive populist ideas and assertive slogans and short texts (manifestos and political programs) and also to offer to politicians the real analysis of the current situation and the short-term forecasts.

For the first and sometimes for the third cases of think tanks do not expect that they will survive for a very long time. For the second case, you can work successfully for decades. In the second case you may also have a possibility to mutate into a consultancy company providing specified services for particular corporations.

Bests,

Igor Gurkov

Head of a think tank of the first type in 1994-2000, head of a think tank of first&second type in 2000-2006.

I think some of the key issues are

- availability of big data

- availability of analytic tools that allow data to be used

- ability of think tanks to work virtually with web conferencing world wide and for workers to work remotely

- use of digital platforms to collect stakeholder and public views including public participation in creating and testing solutions

- connected to this greater ability to use international as well as national learning

- increased competition in the space occupied by think tanks means brand value and quality/perceived quality of the agency will be critical to ensuring stakeholders listen

- distrust of experts

- need for visible leadership that is tech savvy but also credible

- need to tailor messaging precisely to the target audience and deliver in the correct medium

- need for leaders at various levels in think tanks that are credible with different audiences and adept with digital and analogue channels

- ability to deliver quick, timely, analysis to meet stakeholder needs

- ability to work in partnership and share platforms with other credible stakeholders

In Greece recent legislative measures are appropriate to combat informal work....Tomorrow I will post them

Neither the left or the right wing political party makes it valid for fraud since fraud is more of a personal interest than a public mediocre .As the human nature ethical thinking they know what is right and wrong irrespective of their source of teaching and learning.political parties should not be carrying the burden of their individual mbers who take advantage of their position and authority in the party.Nevertheless in line with the parties rules and regulations the suspected fraudsters should be banned from the party with immediate effect.

There is much to say about fraud in the public sector. I have published a few short articles which may help your research:

Maybe have a look at this paper?

Hope it helps!

A new model of a governance system which always concern for the conservation of ecosystem, biodiversity and promote sustainability in theory and practice.

In addition to the indicated aspects of public administration, it is also necessary to touch on the anthropological and phenomenological aspect. It is necessary to consider the problem of the relationship between the administration and the individual. At the same time, administration should be considered taking into account subjective factors.

Ideas linked to the Digital Government provided greater speed, efficiency and transparency.

Hi Michael

As Your independent variable is categorical, I guess, You have dummy coded it into 8(?) single variables and calculated an OR for each one of them.

How many cases does Your data set contain? How does the data look, when You compare the outcomes for each group? At first glance I wouls suspect, there might be some groups, that have a very low cell count, e.g. almost only 0 or 1 as an outcome.

Best regards

Good Day, Thomasz. The below paper ' Effectuating Tacit and Explicit Knowledge via Personal Knowledge Management Frameworks and Devices' utilizes and references sources which differentiate (e.g. Wierzbicki A.P. and Nakamori Y. (2007a) Creative environments: Issues of creativity support for the knowledge civilization age, Springer Publishing Company) between the academic and business world but also point to cumulative synthesis as a common ground methodology (e.g. Usher, A.P.

Hii. I am doing research in the field of Project risk management. We can do some collaborative research work that would be mutually beneficial.

This is how I conducted such research, including analyzing the Land Use technical specification. t shows that only the Netherlands has solved the key problem. The paper plan does not have to be the only document anymore. The digital zone plan is just as accurate and is the equivalent of a paper plan. In other European countries, the document is still a document. Standardization brings many benefits, but the most for those countries that have long had a stable land use classification (France, Germany, the Netherlands). The authors of the Land Use specifications were the representatives of these countries, and therefore the standards contained in this specification are the most consistent with their model of the zoning plan. The standards of the European land use classification for national classification have not been mapped in these countries. Apparently, work is continuing to improve the adaptation of the European HILUCS classification to the needs of other countries and integrated planning. The very idea is very good, provided that there is a type of a stream plan in a given country, consistent with other instruments of spatial policy. In my opinion, it is ideal in this area in the Netherlands. A well-functioning development policy is very important for the development of the country. If economic domination is combined with spatial planning, then the country and territory data develops better. The 1: 5000, 1: 50,000 scale is important.

Dear Karl and Dena, thank you very much for your valuable comments.

The science of public administration is a science of a different specificity, a different kind of research than other social sciences - political sciences, sociology, economics. These fields of sciences can not be compared directly, because there are significant differences in research methodology, subjects, etc. The science of public administration is determined mainly by the specificity of organization and development of public administration institutions in a given country. On the other hand, such social sciences as sociology, economics have a more universal, timeless and more than national character in practically every aspect of research, analytical, research methodology, research objects and developed theories, laws, dependencies, conclusions, confirmed research theories, etc.

Thank you all for your knid answers and experiences, knowledge and insights sharing. Following to my study and (hopefully future) PhD in this area, believe that in the next few months will prepare a kind of research set, in order to cover not only public administration feedback, but also experts and professionals in this area, so, please feel free to contact, comment, ask or suggest any idea, proposal and/or experience. Am aware of the public administration national, cultural, etc. specific needs (as I work in public administration also and cooperate with EU institutions daily). Furthermore, am sure that cultural dimensions, organizational culture, as well as individual characteristics, play the critical role, particularly from the HR aspect. Best regards, Darko Lugonja

Public Administration is a child of Political Science, therefore Political Science is macro in nature because it deals with the state and systems of government and its bureaucracy, while Public Administration is micro in nature because it deals with the people or the bureaucrats who serve as the machinery of the state.

I work as municipal sport manager in a Spanish municipality. From my view, there is a lack of trainning on ethics at universities and it must be wide extended the use of public indicators about transparency in all public services (i.e. those adopted by Transparency International and others specifically ajusted to each public service). Moreover, the personal and professional background of a "good manager" must be primarly based on ethical priciples more than technical skills.

One way is through fire & disaster management. That is, through the environment, a number of natural disasters such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fire occurs which calls for the necessity of information from e-governments to protect its citizens from abuses.  

Mr. Kumar: I'm just going to jump in to support Marcel on this question, and to add some additional thoughts.

Your question: How does law enforcement learn of potential cases to investigate" is dependent upon the jurisdiction, the scope or remit of the law enforcement agency, their relationship with the community and NGO's as well as the scope of their ancillary investigations.

I will provide you some examples that I'm familiar with.

Drug trafficking investigations.  Having identified frontline dealers, Drug Officers undertake wiretap and surveillance operations to move "up=stream", during observations on the target at a motel, they notice large numbers of young women and middle aged males moving in and out of the same rooms. The investigation moves from just drugs, to drugs and human trafficking.  Following awareness of the crime, the investigative team moves into the reactive/intelligence model that Marcel has detailed above.

Money laundering and fraud: A series of banks have been defrauded in the region, all the suspects are young women who come into the bank with a relative (cousin) who help them apply for a bank account and credit card.  Large amounts of purchases are made and the "suspect" disappears. Bank video shows that the accompanying male is the same person for a number of "suspects". Fraud investigators along with Surveillance officers identify the target, who is using trafficking victims as fraud "fronts" as well.  The money laundering and fraud investigation moves to include human trafficking. Another reactive/intelligence led example.

Labour dispute: A member of the public witnesses an assault on a male office cleaner in a building and police attend. The victim is evasive, the assault suspect reports that it was just a disagreement in the workplace.  Officers concerns are raised and they ask detectives to attend.  The victim has limited English language skills, so an interpreter is brought in.  The victim doesn't have any identification documentation, can't provide details about their abode, their arrival, their employment agreement.  Additional workers are interviewed and a pattern starts to emerge.  The assault suspect and "company" owners are brought in for investigation. This falls into the reactive investigative model.

Sex Trafficking/Forced Prostitution:  Organized Crime investigators have been made aware of a criminal enterprise that is utilizing trafficking victims through a "Strip" club and local hotel.  Undercover officers are gathering evidence, but have identified trafficking victims that look like that have been violently assaulted.  Members of the criminal organization have a history of violence, and investigators are concerned that the months of surveillance required to gather sufficient evidence may result in serious harm to the victims.  The investigative team contacts the municipal licencing office, the national tax enforcement agency, and the regional labour regulatory agency and the liquor regulatory agency. All of these agencies are coordinated with the police investigations and undertake an immediate series of investigations on the location, resulting in a suspension of the liquor service permit, a suspension of the business licence, and labour "cease and desist" order.  As a result, the criminal organization is disrupted, investigators and NGO's work with victims to secure their recovery and the business is closed.  However, insufficient evidence is gathered to criminally prosecute the suspects, however, they are subject to a series of fines from other agencies and their business enterprise is closed.  This is an example of the disruptive investigative model.

While these are some examples that I've seen, human trafficking investigations can stem from a broad range of occurrences; simple assaults, labour disputes, frauds, domestic violence, overdose, weapons offences, drug trafficking, etc.  In some jurisdictions, human trafficking awareness has escalated to the point where citizens may see the signs of trafficking in an interpersonal interaction and notify the police; in some cases that victim has reached the point where they are willing to report it to the police; and yet in others, the police uncover the crime through the investigation of another offence.

I hope that has some value in your inquiry.

At some point, I think you will have to decide whether you want to look at transparency as an independent or a dependent variable.  If as an independent variable, you probably should think about what you think greater transparency could or should accomplish, outline the mechanisms through which you think transparency might influence your dependent variables.  For example, full transparency in budgeting should reduce the level of government corruption, say in contracting, because it would make clear what the costs are for what services provided by whom, and if the government was paying much more for a service than it seems that it could, it would look suspicious...full transparency might increase public confidence that tax money was being spend in accordance with the budget or with national needs, and would reveal the priorities of the government, that is, proportionally, how much of the money is going to defense, or to historic preservation, or child health.  Possibly transparency could reduce the level of public alienation.  Full transparency in governmental reporting--say making inspector general reports public--should, could or might increase accountability.  If you cannot come up with a likely mechanism linking transparency to your dependent variables of interest, you should omit those dependent variables from the analysis.  Or do a different study of the determinants of the dependent variable you are most interested in.

The same kind of logic should apply if you use transparency as your dependent variable, what variables might influence the degree of openness and transparency and how do they operate, through what mechanisms?  To me, these questions are less obvious, the research topic is wide open, waiting for eager researchers.  You might have to look at variations in openness that have occurred in the past and see if you can ferret out what might have been involved in those cases, and then design a study around those independent variables to see how they work.
