Abstract
The following document attempts to discuss the scope of public administration, including the history of public administration as a field of study; societal factors that drive the behavior of the public sector, different theories help define the customer of public administrators as well as equal delivery of public service and diversity sensitivity.
Introduction
Public administration is connected to the effective management of government laws and projects including the proper behavior of the officers and leaders. This is a comprehensive and complex subject and has many applications and implications to the performance of the government. Public administration is important in the effective execution of the policies and laws of the government. It involves the careful analysis of the execution of the policies and laws of the government so that the government can be able to keep performing its roles and responsibilities to the people. Concerning the politics in public administration, the public administrators are in charge of implementing any changes or reforms in policies. They are responsible for accomplishing the objectives and targets of various agencies and offer excellent public service. It is just difficult to analyze a policy problem or concern in the government without taking into account the main political organization that controls the decision making and voting power (Denhardt, 2008). The intent of this paper is to examine the scope of the public administration field by analyzing the different significant theories that inform the practice of public administration; as well as individual societal factors that have an impact on how equally public service is delivered to members of our communities.
