The Authority should have a brain to guide and direct it: the legislative power. A will that works and makes it work: the executive. A conscience to try to punish the bad: the judicial power. These powers should be independent in the sense that one should not encroach upon the attributes of the other. But the last two should be made subservient to the first, just as will and conscience and subordinated to reason. The executive and judiciary cannot separate themselves from the laws dictated by the legislature, any more than a citizen can violate them.” Approaches to the Study of Public Administration  CONSTITUTIONAL-LEGAL looks at the workings of government from the point of view of the constitution, legislative enactments, the administrative code, executive pronouncements, and court decisions and legal opinions.  STRUCTURAL-DESCRIPTIVE views public administration from the standpoint of organizational structure, functions, techniques and procedures. looks at the structure of the bureaucracy as an organizational arrangement of component elements, each performing functions and roles.  INSTITUTIONAL APPROACH complements the structural-descriptive approach. It emphasizes the formal relationships among the three branches of the government on the basis of separation of powers theory and the ways of keeping public administration responsible to the elected branch and the public as clientele.  BEHAVIORAL APPROACH aims at relating public administration and policy with the situational context. looks into the behavior of individuals within the organization. great interest in examining the nature of authority and leadership.  SYSTEM APPROACH the concern for management techniques developed as a result of the desire to improve governmental service delivery. nuts and bolts theory (Stephen Bailey) (detailed practical aspect not the abstract) service -oriented  CONTINGENCY APPROACH an organization should zero in on the situation because there is no “best type” of organizational structure. an organization is contingent upon a given situation. Role of Public Administration  PUBLIC SERVICE service to the people is the basic foundation of government of which public administration is an essential tool. the machinery of the government must be at all times be attuned to the people’s will and programs are implemented for the peoples welfare. Scope of Philippine Public Administration GOVERNMENTAL ACTIVITIES MAY BE CLASSIFIED INTO FOUR BROAD CATEGORIES  1. protect society as a whole. national defense protective services like police, fire and jail, education and environment.  2 Government activities designed to provide assistance to economic and social groups.  3 Government activities undertaken in the exercise of proprietary and corporate powers.
