LUTHER HASLEY GULICK III
- Believed that public administration could
have made more effective if it were
practiced according to a set of guidelines.
- All organizations are characterized by a
tension between the need for division and
the need for coordination.
- Work division is the foundation of
organization
- It is important to recognize that time are
limited beyond which labor cannot
usefully be divided
- Gulick stated: “ it might be more efficient
to have the front half of the cow in the
pasture grazing while the rear half is in
the barn being milked, but any attempt to
divide the cow in this fashion would, for
obvious reason, fail.”
- Gulick believed that, labor divided makes
for efficiency; but only IF the labor and its
outputs are harmonized with the
organizations goals.
ORGANIZATION WORK OF UNITS
- Gulick
 By purpose- aims of the work unit
 By process- what the unit actually does
 By clientele- work with similar materials
or clients
 By location- organized together due to
geographic location, regardless of
functions.
David McClelland’s
HUMAN MOTIVATION THEORY
- Theory- 1960s
- Based on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs
- According to him, individual possess 3
needs which are not innate; they are
learned through culture, age and
experience
3 MAIN NEEDS:
- Need for ACHIEVEMENT:
“Desire to do better, solve problems or
master complex problems.”
 Challenging
 Like to work alone
 Self-motivated
 Likes feedback
 Will perform better if money is linked
with their achievements
- Need for AFFILIATION:
“Desire for friendly and warm
relationship with others.”
 Concerned in being “liked” and
“accepted”
 They form informal relationships
 Very cooperative
 Perform better in team
- Need for POWER:
“it is the desire to control and influence
other people’s behaviour”
 Like to control others
 Argumentative
 Have the ability to influence others.
Mcclelland suggested that a strong n-affil
'affiliation-motivation' undermines a manager's
objectivity, because of their need to be liked, and
that this affects a manager's decision-making
capability.
A strong n-pow 'authority-motivation' will
produce a determined work ethic and
commitment to the organisation, and while n-
pow people are attracted to the leadership role,
they may not possess the required flexibility and
people-centred skills.
McClelland argues that n-ach people with strong
'achievement motivation' make the best leaders,
although there can be a tendency to demand too
much of their staff in the belief that they are all
similarly and highly focused and results-driven,
which of course most people are not.
FREDERICK HERZBERG’s
Two factor theory
- April 18,1923- Jan. 19,2000
- American psychologist that introduced:
 Job enrichment
 The motivator-hygiene theory
- All about two factor theory:
 Two factor theory states that there are
certain factors in the workplace that
causes in job satisfaction, while
separate set of factors causing
dissatisfaction.
THE DUAL STRUCTURE THEORY
Herzberg proposed the motivation−hygiene
theory also known as: Dual structure theory.
Staff is dissatisfied and unmotivated
Hygiene factors
Staff is not dissatisfied but unmotivated
Motivational factors
Staff is satisfied and motivated
Increase in satisfaction leads to a decrease in
unpleasable dissatisfaction
 Satisfaction- which normally affected
by the “motivator factors”. Motivation
factors help management not only
must provide hygiene factors to avoid
employee dissatisfaction but also
must provide factors intrinsic to the
work.
CLAYTON ALDERFER
- American psychologist
- ERG Theory- 1969
- ERG simplifies Maslow’s hierarchy of
needs
- ERG THEORY:
 3 basic needs an employee seeks to
fulfil
 Existence, Relatedness, and Growth
EXISTENCE- the need for basic material
existence like physiological health and safety.
RELATEDNESS- The need for intrapersonal
communication
GROWTH- focuses on the need of people to
grown and develop themselves

DOUGLAS McGregor
- X & Y Theory
McGregor's X-Y theory is a salutary and simple
reminder of the natural rules for managing
people, which under the pressure of day-to-day
business are all too easily forgotten.
McGregor's ideas suggest that there are two
fundamental approaches to managing people.
Many managers tend towards Theory X, and
generally get poor results. Enlightened managers
use Theory Y, which produces better performance
and results, and allows people to grow and
develop.
Theory X - 'Authoritarian Management' Style
The average person dislikes work and will avoid
it if he/she can.
Therefore most people must be forced with the
threat of punishment to work towards
organisational objectives.
The average person prefers to be directed; to
avoid responsibility; is relatively unambitious,
and wants security above all else.
Theory Y - 'Participative Management' Style
Effort in work is as natural as work and play.
People will apply self-control and self-direction in
the pursuit of organisational objectives, without
external control or the threat of punishment.
Commitment to objectives is a function of
rewards associated with their achievement.
People usually accept and often seek
responsibility.
The capacity to use a high degree of imagination,
ingenuity and creativity in solving organisational
problems is widely, not narrowly, distributed in
the population.
In industry, the intellectual potential of the
average person is only partly utilised.
Theory Z - William Ouchi
Theory Z is often referred to as the 'Japanese'
management style, which is essentially what it
is. It's interesting that Ouchi chose to name his
model 'Theory Z', which apart from anything else
tends to give the impression that it's a Mcgregor
idea.

thinking.
Public Administration vs. Public
Management: Differences
The underlying difference between both fields
lies in the core definitions of administration and
management. Management is concerned with
planning and taking action, while administration
relates to the application of policies that dictate
how management personnel should act.
The rules of public administration are
instrumental to the process of developing policy,
providing a measure of guidance as to how those
policies should be introduced to societies.
In contrast, the rules of public management
dictate how civil servants should implement
those policies. Public management is a hands-on
approach that focuses on the daily tasks involved
with rolling out policies, whereas public
administration prioritizes controlling the
hierarchies, rules, and regulations that
contribute to instituting public policy.
Difference Between Public and Private
Administration
public vs private administrationAdministration
can be viewed as the act of effectively managing
the affairs of a business organisation or state. It
implies the optimum use of people, information
and other resources of the organisation, in the
attainment of the ultimate goal of the company.
The administration can be done either by public
officials or private individuals. Public
administration is a branch of economics that
works with service motive. On the other end,
private administration works with business
intuition.
The public administration differs from the
private administration, in three important ways,
i.e. the political character, accountability and
scope of their activities. Here an article is
presented to help you understand the meaning
and differences between public and private
administration.
Key Differences Between Public and
Private Administration
The important points of difference between
public and private administration are given
below:
• The systematic and well-planned
management of the affairs of the state to achieve
the purposes established by the government is
known as Public Administration. The term
private administration refers to the operation,
management, and organisation of the affairs of
the business enterprise.
• Public Administration is a political
process. On the other hand, the private
administration is a business activity.
• Public administration takes place in
governmental setup, whereas private
administration operates in the structure other
than the governmental setup.
• Public administration follows a
bureaucratic approach, while the private
administration has an egalitarian approach.
• Decision making in public administration
is pluralistic, but in private administration, there
is monopolistic decisions are taken.
• In public administration, the revenue is
generated from taxes, fees, duties, penalties and
other dues paid by the general public. As opposed
to private administration, where profits from
operating activities are the major source of
revenue.
• When it comes to accountability, public
officials are accountable to the general public.
Unlike, private administration where the
employees are accountable to the owners.
• Public administration is welfare oriented;
it works with service motive. Conversely, the
private administration is profit oriented.
SIGNIFICANCE OF PUBLIC
ADMINISTRATION -:
• It is the basis of modern society. Sardar
Patel said, ‘civil service will be steel frame of
India.’
• It provides stability to society. So it is
stabilizing force of society.
• It participates in policy formation, policy
implementation & policy evaluation.
• It provides protective cover to society.
• It provides facilitative functions such as –
good education, clean, green & safe environment,
good living conditions, etc.
• It manage public enterprises.
• It promote science, technology, culture,
education & research.
• “public administration is an instrument
for socio – economic change”
• E.g., poverty elevation
• Socio- economic changes come on direction
of executives.
• Role of administration changes on change
in socio-economy. Therefore, public
administration must reform itself with change in
time according to environment.
• Public administration must work to
connect people with it as it cannot work without
the participation of people.
What is governance?
Governance is not synonymous with government.
This confusion of terms can have unfortunate
consequences. A public policy issue where the
heart of the matter is a problem of "governance”
becomes defined implicitly as a problem of
“government”, with the corollary that the onus
for “fixing” it necessarily rests with government.
Partly it is about how governments and other
social organizations interact, how they relate to
citizens, and how decisions are taken in a
complex world. Thus governance is a process
whereby societies or organizations make their
important decisions, determine whom they
involve in the process and how they render
account. Since a process is hard to observe,
students of governance tend to focus our
attention on the governance system or
framework upon which the process rests - that is,
the agreements, procedures, conventions or
policies that define who gets power, how
decisions are taken and how accountability is
rendered.
Five Principles of Good Governance
The Five Good Governance Principles
The UNDP Principles and related UNDP text on
which they are based
1. Legitimacy and Voice
Participation – all men and women should
have a voice in decision-making, either directly
or through legitimate intermediate institutions
that represent their intention. Such broad
participation is built on freedom of association
and speech, as well as capacities to participate
constructively.
Consensus orientation – good governance
mediates differing interests to reach a broad
consensus on what is in the best interest of the
group and, where possible, on policies and
procedures.
2. Direction
Strategic vision – leaders and the public have a
broad and long-term perspective on good
governance and human development, along with
a sense of what is needed for such development.
There is also an understanding of the historical,
cultural and social complexities in which that
perspective is grounded.
3. Performance
Responsiveness – institutions and processes
try to serve all stakeholders. Effectiveness and
efficiency – processes and institutions produce
results that meet needs while making the best
use of resources.
