Study Notes
Budgeting Concepts in India
- Focus areas include performance budgeting, zero base budgeting (ZBB), and budget preparation, authorization, and execution with a special emphasis on India.
- Contributors to this field are Dr. B.B. Goel, Dr. Ramesh Pal, and Dr. Emanual Nahar.
Introduction to Public Administration
- Public administration has gained significance in modern society, influencing state activities and policymaking.
- Originated from Woodrow Wilson's 1887 essay “The Study of Administration,” marking the separation of administration and politics.
- Wilson is recognized as the "Father of Public Administration."
Definitions and Nature of Public Administration
- Administration involves managing affairs through cooperation to achieve common goals.
- Terms such as "administration" imply management in both public and private sectors.
- Public administration is characterized by independent, systematic study and is affected by trends like Good Governance and E-Governance.
Judicial Control in Public Administration
- Judicial control is essential for ensuring legality and protecting citizen rights against unlawful actions.
- It includes mechanisms such as judicial review, statutory appeals, and tort claims against government entities.
- Key forms of judicial control utilize writs prescribed by Articles 32 and 226 of the Constitution, including:
- Writ of Habeas Corpus: Ensures protection against unlawful detention.
- Writ of Mandamus: A command for authorities to perform their duties.
- Writ of Certiorari: Allows higher courts to review lower tribunal decisions.
Centralization and Decentralization
- Centralization consolidates authority, while decentralization disperses it across various levels of government.
- The application of these principles depends on factors such as responsibility, administrative efficiency, and specific functions needing either centralized control or public participation.
Organisational Structure
- Functionality within organizations includes a balance between formal and informal structures.
- A functional structure can lead to complexities due to the overlap of authority, potentially challenging traditional managerial principles like unity of command.
- Advantages of a functional approach include alleviation of routine tasks for line executives and the incorporation of expert knowledge, although it can complicate coordination and foster centralization.
Importance of Informal Organizations
- Informal organizations play a crucial role in fostering cohesiveness, job satisfaction, and productivity within formal structures.
- Their existence is acknowledged as vital for achieving organizational objectives and enhancing employee morale.
