Discuss the theories of public organizations related to their structure and the people within them – the origins, how public organizations currently function, and how public organizational functioning might be improved. To address this, consider some of the following questions (you do not need to specifically address them all) as well as the concepts from Introducing Public Administration Chapters 6 & 7 in your discussion analysis: Why is it that so many of the principles and practices of public administration have their origin in military organizations? Are classical organization theory and scientific management still relevant today – if so, how? Is Max Weber’s concept of bureaucracy still relevant – in all or part – how? What issues/considerations arise in the design of an organization? What are the benefits or drawbacks of bureaucratic impersonality? How might Maslow’s needs hierarchy inform a plan for organizational motivation? How do the organizational change techniques call for the action research model facilitate more capable organizational arrangements? How does technology influence behavior in modern organizations? Offer examples in your comments.
Conduct research to find additional resources to strengthen and expand your response in addition to making connections to the course readings; cite all of your resources in APA format.
