Woodrow Wilson and his Contribution to Public Administration

Volume : 9, Issue : 6, June - 2022

Abstract : Public Administration is one of the important concepts of the study of administration. Therefore, before understanding the meaning of Public Administration, it is necessary to understand the meaning of the word “Administration”. The word “Administration” is derived from the Latin word “ad and ministrate” which means “to serve‟ or “to look after the people” or “to care for” or “to manage”. Thus, literally the term administration means management of affairs- public or private. Administration is as old as the human civilization and human existence. It is the administration which controls and stabilizes the society. The whole society has been guided by the norms and values of the administration. So the society without administration is not effective. It is the administration which brings society from a set of ignorance to the brightened antiquity. The society is the best whose administration is the best. So knowledge about administration is very important for the students of Political Science.
