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
