@IWRA@doodlebeanMam i face prblm in breaking the ques in parts. In all 3 mains i hv faced this prblm and so i havent clrd mains once. Even for those ques which i have good content i dnt how to approach it, how to break it in parts.
Also i hv one doubt while writing in points do we need to just mention the point or shld we also explain tht point. . Example- Rti will increase transparency.
Is this enough or do i need to also write how rti will increase transparency. Likewise for every point in the ans.

@mahi2501Thanks sirji. I am having prblm with word limit in all my answers. I am working on it.
I did not write conclusion in tht ans . Can we write following as conclusion- Rationality and efficiency not always intertwined . Besides rationality efficency is dependent on other factors like motivation,communication,decision making,ecology etc.

@IWRAthanks sir . But its taking around 15 mins to write it. During exam only 7-8 mins available for 10 marker.

@mahi2501sir. U hv covered all pnts. I liked ur conclusion . Few suggestions. Underline ur imp pts. Its a 10 marker so dnt explain in detail each pt like u did for expertise pt. (I hv asked this query to iwra sir. Chk his response in previous pgs). With a diag ur ans would have been catchy.(pardon me its my first review)

4.4k views

@mahi2501thanks. I run out of ideas in 2nd part.
I hv one doubt@IWRA@doodlebeanin this ques do we need to first shw the comparison of classical and behavioural and then shw how it is linked by Simons model or we shld directly write on the linkage part and also same doubt for previous ques on NPS as improvement over NPM, do we need to first explain the concept. Of NPM NPS and then shw how NPS is an improvemnt over NPM or directly start with second part?

@IWRAand@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singhwe will need ur guidance here.
@mahi2501@Hakunah_Matata@LalSalaam@Thoroughly_Screwed@iceblock93and all others.

1 A theory of public administration means in our time a theory of politics also. Comment (1994)
2 Do you think that contemporary Administrative Theory supports the 'art' of public administration and generally tends to place less emphasis on the 'science' of public administration? (1988)
3 "Public administration is the translation of politics into reality that citizens see everyday"(Donald F. Kettl and James W. Fesler) Explain.(2016)
4 "Even after 130 years of its publication, Woodrow Wilsons essay The Study of Administration continues to have great relevance even today." Comment. (2017).
5 " With every major transformation in the applied world of Public Administration, the study of Public Administration has grown in scope and intensity." Discuss the relationship between the evolution of the discipline and profession of Public Administration. (2017)

@Thoroughly_Screwedi dnt have test papers of other institutes. If u have then u can add questions here.
@iwra@Yo_Yo_Choti_Singhif u could plz explain phenomenological approach and deductive-nomological, inductive- probabilistic concepts.
1 " The Phenomenological approach advocated by the New Public Administration has obstructed the path of theory building in Public Administration." Comment. (2018)
2 "NPA is........ a revolution or radicalism in words , and (at best) status quoist in skills or technologies." (2009)
3 ' Deductive - nomological and inductive - probabilistic approaches dominate NPA' (Marini). Discuss (1987)
4 In what respects is Taylors Scientific Management or Classical motivational theory different from the Classical organizational theory expounded by Gullick, Urwick etc ? (2012)
5 Taylors Scientific Management already offered a humanistic theory of motivation, wih its democratic and participatory emphasis, that was hardly improved on by Elton Mayo and others. Comment (1994)

@iceblock93almond and verba talks abt 3 types of pol culture -
parochial- ppl r not aware of govt. Here ppl will follow whatever the govt does. Will have stable govt. No opposition frm ppls side. But not effective democratic govt as lacks ppls support. Top down. Few of the african countries or fused societies.
Subject- ppl are aware of govt, but do not participate. Therefore policies will be top down. Will have stable govt but not effective democratic govt.. most developing countries or prismatic societies
Participative- citizens not only aware of govt but participates in governance. It will have eefective democratic govt but because of over involvement of ppl in governance there will be constant opposition to governments decisions which are against one section of population. Therefore stability will not be their.
Almond and gabriel says to have a civic culture i.e, stable and effective democratic govt a combination of all the above three pol culture is needed , so that people will participate in governance but will also follow decisions which are against one section of population but is in public interest.

I wld have written this . Would have try to add more examples in it.
