- Good morning everyone, I will be continuing our report on The third stage in the Evolution of Public Administration (1938-1947) Which is THE ERA OF HETERODOXY & CHALLENGE Now let me ask, What does Heterodoxy mean? It means to diverge or differentiate from what is generally normal or accepted. Which led to the rising of most of the challenges P.A. faced during this era……which was presented by my co reporter earlier
- Why does the word CHALLENGE emphasized in this stage? The so-called ‘principles of administration’ were challenged and dubbed ‘naturalistic fallacies’ and ‘proverbs’ Can someone define what is naturalistic fallacy, and define what is a proverb. (Let the class answer) The cause of this dubbing was presented by my groupmate earlier. So you are familiar with HERBERT A. SIMON, in his article “The Proverbs of Administration in 1946, and its argument was further developed in his published work “Administrative Behavior” in 1947. “This period witnessed the spectacle of Political Science not only letting Public Administration separate itself from what was then seen as the main subject, but also not fostering and encouraging its growth and development within its own field”. Because after a while, Public administration separated from political science but still relies on political science… and This will further be explained in stage 4 by the next reporters.
- Now there was this thing on public administration if it is a stand-alone science or will still be a subset of political science SINCE In the post-World War II period, the claims of Public Administration of being a science and a distinct subject or area of study from political science were questioned. Why? Because of what I have mentioned a while back, it separated but still rely on the mother subject (POLSCI)
- My coreporter presented the new generation of theorists and administrative theories which are the two perspectives that challenged the theoretical concepts of public administration. During this era is the time of world War II. The outbreak of World War II in 1939 significantly altered the landscape of public administration, demanding rapid and innovative responses from governments worldwide. The challenges faced during this period were diverse and multifaceted, requiring unprecedented levels of coordination, flexibility, and adaptability since peaceful times and time of war are two different things, with different problems, challenges, & solutions. So I will be sharing the key challenges faced by public administrators during this tumultuous era and highlights the transformative effects on governance, both domestically and internationally.
- (read the paper) For the LGU employees, what is the role of your municipal administrator? For the other agencies, what is the role/workload of the admin? Administrators are people legally appointed to manage agencies or workplace. They are responsible for running the place. So basically, in one word, they are IMPORTANT During the war, administrative capacities were expanded since quick response is needed. Kasla metlaeng nu biglaan nga adda dakkel nga trabaho tay agency tayo tapos ipa rush da pay, diba talaga nga need tayo nga I stretch ti bagbagi tayo, aramiden tayo dagijay banag uray han tay area tapnu lang malpas? That’s what happened during the war, ADMINISTRATORS were compelled to function beyond what they normally do (next slide)
- (read paper) Of course after the war, how the administration run things changed again since like what I have mentioned a while ago, peaceful times and time of war are two different things, with different problems, challenges, & solutions. Administrators faced the challenge of adjusting from the extraneous management during the war…… to the supposed to be easier management turned into something even more extraneous one since a lot of things should be settled such as rebuilding (people, places, policies, & etc.)
- (read paper) Here comes another challenge in the sense that it is quite difficult to adjust administrative practices being followed for years in order to align with global objectives. It is again another adjustment and of course improvement for Public administration. This process also took time since it is not easy to gather all the leaders around the world. But is it worth it? Yes. Which is why, a lot of small countries are joining peace treaties and international organization to be protected from possible harms which may cause by bigger countries. It is also an opportunity for countries to collaborate and make partnerships. Learn about the best practices of other countries when it comes to public administration. Remember that our goal nowadays is to cope and level with global standards.
- The change of rule or governance is not an easy task. Remember during war that there are some countries who were colonized, take PHILIPPINES for example. There are a lot of colonizers who colonized us and take note that they differ in how they have govern the people and conduct administrative task……. Until such time for a long time that we were given INDEPENDENCE…. After that, we were able to build our own administration basing from the previous administrations of the colonizers, re-evaluated, re-constructed, the process being repeated for improvement then we have our administration in the present….. And also note that it will still keep on improving.
- Developing programs, is it an easy task? Why? How about administering these programs…. Easy or not? Why? How about maintaining and improving programs…easy or not? Yeah, after the war, administrations are tasked to develop various programs…. And these were intended mainly for the veterans (Soldiers who survived the war) Why were these veterans given so much attention?
- (read paper) This reevaluation aided in identifying the needs of public administrations as well as its functions and further role……. This helped in a big way in the evolution of Public administration.
- (read conclusion) With this, we were able to highlight the resilience and adaptability of public administrators during a challenging period and underscores the enduring impact of their efforts on the subsequent development of governance structures and practices. Do you have any questions? If none (proceed to the next slide…..Thank you for listening)
- Public administration plays a pivotal role in the functioning of societies, providing essential services, implementing policies, and ensuring effective governance. However, the contemporary landscape of public administration is marked by a myriad of challenges that demand strategic and innovative solutions. This time around, we are going to discuss the key challenges facing public administration in the current era and some ways to address them.
- 1. Technological Disruption: Rapid technological advancements present both opportunities and challenges for public administration. The integration of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, blockchain, and big data requires the adaptation of traditional administrative processes, ensuring data security, and upskilling the workforce to harness the benefits of innovation. 2 Governance in the Digital Age: The shift towards digital governance brings efficiency gains but introduces concerns about cybersecurity, privacy, and digital divide. Public administrators must navigate the complexities of e-governance while ensuring inclusive access to digital services and safeguarding sensitive information. 3 Globalization and Interconnected Challenges: The interconnectedness of global challenges, such as climate change, pandemics, and migration, necessitates collaborative and transnational approaches. Public administrators must work across borders to address shared issues, requiring effective international cooperation and diplomacy. 4 Demographic Shifts and Diversity: Changing demographics, including aging populations and increased cultural diversity, pose challenges in public service delivery and policymaking. Administrators must develop inclusive policies that cater to diverse needs, foster cultural competence, and bridge generational gaps within the workforce. 5 Fiscal Constraints: Public administration often faces budgetary constraints, especially in the aftermath of economic downturns or global crises. Balancing fiscal responsibility with the provision of essential services requires strategic financial management, innovative funding models, and a focus on outcomes.
- After knowing the challenges we face in Public administration, the questions “what to do, what should we do, what are the things we can do”? To address these challenges.
- Public administrations should proactively adopt and integrate emerging technologies, invest in training programs, and collaborate with the private sector to leverage innovative solutions for enhanced service delivery and efficiency.
- Robust cybersecurity measures are imperative to safeguard sensitive information and ensure public trust in digital governance. Public administrators should invest in cybersecurity infrastructure, conduct regular assessments, and promote cybersecurity awareness.
- Recognizing the global nature of contemporary challenges, public administrators should strengthen international partnerships, engage in information exchange, and contribute to collaborative efforts in addressing shared issues.
- Public administrations should prioritize diversity and inclusion initiatives, ensuring representation in decision-making processes, implementing cultural competency training, and tailoring policies to meet the needs of diverse populations.
- Administrators must adopt prudent financial management practices, explore innovative funding sources, and prioritize investments that yield long-term benefits. Collaboration with the private sector and leveraging public-private partnerships can help mitigate fiscal constraints.
- The ERA era of challenges in public administration demands a proactive and adaptable approach to navigate the complexities of the contemporary landscape. By embracing innovation, fostering inclusivity, and strengthening collaborative efforts, public administrators can contribute to effective governance and address the multifaceted challenges that define this era.
