2. • In a dynamic and turbulent environment where social,
economic and political problems mount and the demands of
society increase faster than the capacity of available resources
to provide for, government, especially the administrative
organization for carrying out policies and implement projects
and programs, is called upon to adopt appropriate
mechanisms to cope with this concerns.
• The bureaucracy is faced with crucial issues and challenges
• Should public administration be ethnocentric or universal?
Should public administration be guided primarily by theories
and principles, for whatever these are worth, or should it
adapt itself to environmental pressures and consequently seek
new approaches for responding to the challenges of the
environment?

3. • Principles of administration are universal but their
applicability and relevance may yet be conditioned by the
physical and social environment.
• Technology aims at making life more convenient and
improving the quality of life by introducing new methods
and approaches to service delivery.
• The management of the economy, for example, may require
new perspectives especially with the advent of the debt
problem, borrowing and repayment schemes. A
development-oriented public administration has to
consider as major concerns, productivity, efficiency,
effectiveness, accountability, budgetary deficits and
unstable economy, among others. It must address the
problems of poverty, ecology, social justice, inequality, and
disproportionate distribution of the goods of society.

4. • Energy Crisis (lack of foresight and failure)
• Depletion of Forest Resources (maintaining
the ecological balance and instilling
environmental consciousness)
• Unregulated Population Growth (lack of
appreciation for quality life more than a
religious inspired and ethical social
phenomenon) Source:https://www.slideshare.net/J2Gonzales/final-

5. • Moral, Mental and Environmental Pollution
(enforce ethical standards for social and
ecosystems maintenance)
• Cleaning and Greening (exemplified by the City of
Manila and hoped that this will have a spillover
effect throughout Metro Manila and the rest of
the country)
• Peace and Order Situation (lack of individual and
social discipline)

6. • It has an imitative rather than a indigenous pattern
characterized by some version of modern western
bureaucratic administration.
• It is deficient in skilled manpower necessary for
developmental programs; there is shortage of trained
administrators with management capability, development
skills and technical competence.
• There is emphasis on orientation other than production-
directed and program oriented goals. It uses the public
service as substitute for a social security program and a
means to help solve the unemployment problem.

7. • There is wide discrepancy between format and
reality as demonstrated by the urge to make
things seem more than what they actually are,
resulting in a gap between expectations and
realities.
• It has a generous measure of operational
autonomy as several groups converge in the
bureaucracy. There are technical experts,
professional experts or technocrats and the
military, each desirous to formulate and
implement policy decisions on their own
respective turfs.

8. • Policy issues which involve the core role public
administrators.
• Organization issues which are instrumental
aspects of management or factors involved in

10. • Labor Policy – which includes regulation of
industrial dispute workers right to organize and
stage strike; government encouragement to the
formulation of labor movements, and the impact
of labor group pressure upon policy and
administration.
• Resource Policy – which have to do with such
concerns like shrinking farm population, price
control of agricultural products, form of
agricultural assistance and subsidies, cooperative
movements, land use planning, natural resource
conservation, energy supply, providing balance
between population and resources.

11. • Planning of Policies and Programs – with the use
of plans, the consciousness of those responsible
for making decisions may be modified and
necessary changes identified and implemented.
• Centralization Argues
• Lateral and Horizontal Allocation of
Responsibilities and programs
• Lack of Coordination
ORGANIZATIONISSUE
12. • Decision Making and Program Management ,
(controlling and evaluating performance) –
policies, developing strategies, assigning roles,
elicit participation, and cooperation)
• Confronting public management is how to deal
with negative bureaucratic behavior, abuse of
discretion and over indulgence, red tape, graft
and corruption.
13. • Influence upon political and administrative decision
making is significantly powerful.
• More public interest groups will pursue collective and
community oriented goals demanding environmental
conservation, clean air, eradication of poverty,
equitable allocation of goods and services and this
groups completed by citizen awareness of the
responsibilities of government and will be more critical
of government policies.
• The environment of society is fast changing; the
challenges are continuous; there are no permanent
solutions.
