STUDY GUIDE 1
1. Name and describe the six (6) elements which comprise public administration in terms of the
Public Administration model. (25)
public administration refers to the process whereby government delivers services to society and
all its related activities and institutions. The goods and services provided by the government are
aimed at improving the general welfare of society. Public administration also refers to all
government-related activities, institutions and statutes.
Such public administration results in the formulation of public policies, the enactment of the
constitution, the building of roads, the presence of police, clinics and schools to name a few.
Element of public administration
This model of Public Administration is an attempt to explain the relations between the different
elements in public administration. These elements are the manifestations of society as we see it.
The model therefore seeks to give a logical order and explanation to things and processes that
we observe every day and yet are unable to give them a name or to understand why they
happen.
Society
Society preceded the existence of public administration processes.
This derives from the social contract theories for understanding the origin of government and the
state as we know them today. It is the assumption of these theories that in the beginning there
were individuals who lived as small family units independent of each other. Over time it became
necessary to interact and share resources as larger groups, which led ultimately to the formation
of larger societies.
The need for harmonious coexistence thus led to the formation of a centralised authoritative
body. It is important to note that society is made up of individuals. In all references to society, we
therefore imply the individual. When we refer to government providing society with services we
are in fact referring to individuals. This marked the beginning of the political organisation of
society into a state.
Government
Government is the machinery of the state.
This is based on the assumption that the state and the government are not synonymous. The
state has a much broader scope which includes the government. The functions of government
are defined and determined by the state though the political element of government will make
the functions vary slightly. Government came into existence as a mechanism which society could
use to meet its needs. It responds to the needs of society and provides the following functions
and services.
