Scope of Public Service
1. Transition from ‘Traditional” to ‘Modern’ State
- After World War II, the priorities of the modern state have shifted from ‘warfare’ to ‘welfare’
- Public administration has reflected this transition from a ‘law and order’ orientation to a ‘developmental’ orientation
2. Growth in the Functions of Public Services
- Public officials now have to perform various tasks and duties in addition to their traditional responsibilities
- They are required to supervise various aspects of administrative, technical and scientific programmes, and advise ministers on policy issues
3. Modern State
- Despite the market economy, many public services are still majorly provided by the state due to its welfare commitments
- Developed countries like the US and the UK primarily invest in providing education and health services
