PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION ACTIVITIE
Public administration is difficult to define, though we all have a sense of what it is
In part, this is because public administration covers a vast amount of activity. Public administration jobs range from the exploration of outer space to sweeping the streets. Some public administrators are highly educated professionals; others possess few skills that differentiate them from the mass of the citizenry. Some public administrators make policies that have a nationwide impact and may benefit millions of people; others have virtually no responsibility for policy-making and simply carry out the mundane governmental tasks of filing and record-keeping. Public administrators are doctors, lawyers, scientists, engineers, accountants, personnel officers, managers, clerks, manual laborers and individuals engaged in many other occupations and functions. But knowing what public administrators do does not resolve the problem of defining what public administration is
One can find a wide variety of helpful definitions of public administration. They usually state that public administration involves activity, is concerned with politics and policy-making, tends to be concentrated in the executive branch of government, and is concerned with implementing the law
One more specific definition of it is that 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.
