Models of Public Administration
Studying the Models of Public Administration
MODELS OF COMPARITIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONINTRODUCTION
Before going to the models, it is important to understand the different terminologies used in the subject:
1. APPROACH:
An Approach is based primarily on one central concept. That is thought to be especially useful in studying basic features of public administration. Approaches are general in nature. 2. MODELS:
Models can be considered as a refined and more specific version of approaches. We can say that approaches are the factories of models. Within one approach, several models can be developed. Models are very specific towards a particular study. 3. THEORY:
Theory is a more sophisticated tool than models. But according to various scientists like Herbert Simmons, Allan Newell, Waldo and Nimrod; Model and theory are interchangeable in practice.
MODELS IN COMPARATIVE PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION
Models in the public Administration were first introduced by Herbert Simmons. His work like; ADMINISTRATIVE BEHAVIOR, PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION, AND ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR are important contributions to the Public Administrations. He bounded Rational Model, explained a rational way for arriving at a decision. Decision makers are more contended with satisfying rather than optimizing model in decision making which is a major contribution to model building in Public Administration. There are seven models frequently used in studying comparative and development Administration. Out of these, Max Weber’s Bureaucratic model has the most popular use in comparative study of Bureaucracy. The other models by Dawn emphasis the importance of career interest. Riggs Charismatic Sala model is an intellectual creativity of model building. This is particularly with reference to the third world model. Similarly Dorsey’s Information Anarchy model, The development model and Mathur‘s Model do represent distinctly different but in the broad sense are intellectually compatible models which have
