Being part of the government’s machinery, public administration must, at all times, be attuned to implement the government’s programs concerning the welfare of the people and be fully understood by the people in this effort. The government calls on public administration for the performance of this important aspect of its work. Public administration’s role in the society, since the dawn of organized governments revolves around the concept of public service.
In this times when the pace of social and economic development is so rapid, there is a great need of synchronizing the formulation of government policies with world events. As a result, public administration has assumed a new role – that of serving as change agent in the task of nation-building. With its new role, public administration significantly contributes in shaping both the aspirations and expectations of the people in its efforts to improve the quality of life.
The impact of public administration in every people’s lives is truly undeniable. As Leveriza puts it “public administration has become inextricably interwoven into every aspect of human life”. Together with the ever changing needs and desire of the people is the ever changing character, structure, nature and scope of public administration. This is where the role of public administration becomes difficult. Dell
