Types and functions of public administration

Any state has a characteristic onlywith natural resources, financial capital, and intellectual potential. From the skilful organization of public administration, the level of its economic and social development depends directly. In other words, the management organization consists of the composition of social operating institutions, representatives of state power and territorial organization.

State management can include the activities of government bodies in the implementation of legislative, judicial and executive functions.

The main goal of public administrationis the achievement of optimality in the created conditions to ensure a decent level of social status. When considering this issue in the economic prism, it can be said that the management activities of the relevant bodies should be aimed at identifying strategies for long-term economic development and creating suitable conditions for its implementation with the aim of improving the living standard of the population.

The implementation of these goals should beis based on the following principles of public administration: general, disclosing the content and purposeful direction of management, organizational, technological and private, which are the direct management of people's activities.

The social essence of any state is known through the functions of state administration, since any country without its interaction with the society loses its essence.

These functions are sufficiently multifaceted and depend on a specific goal in a particular area of ​​management activity.

The main functions of public administration:

- political - a function that ensures the integrity and safety of society in the form of the state;

- social - a function aimed at ensuring the rights and freedoms of citizens throughout its territory;

- economic - a component of the functions of public administration, responsible for creating the necessary prerequisites for an effective and orderly activity of the society in the economic sphere;

- the maintenance of the sovereignty and freedom of the state within the international community.

There are other functions of government, reflecting the interaction of the subject and the object of management (the functions of organization, forecasting, planning, motivation and control).

Types of governmentwidely reflected in the scientific literature. Depending on the structure of the central government and administrative units, coordination and subordinate management can be distinguished. The first type is a characteristic feature for federations, within this department rather broad powers are granted to the regions. Subordinate management characterizes unitary states in which the functions of public administration at all levels are implemented in the form of uniform standards, while it can be noted and strict subordination of the regions to the center.

The next criterion for distinguishing the types of public administration is its impact on the object. In this spectrum, we can distinguish:

- sectoral management, assuming the existence of vertical subordination from the center to any business entity;

- functional management, whichis carried out by the executive power in such important areas as economics, defense, social development and security. Thanks to this management activity, an effective external and internal policy of the state is ensured.
