Behavioral Public Administration

Behavioral Public Administration is a field that studies how people involved in government and public service actually behave, make decisions, and interact. Instead of just focusing on rules and policies, it examines the psychological, social, and emotional factors that influence public officials, citizens, and institutions. This helps to understand why certain policies succeed or fail and how to design better systems that account for human behavior. Essentially, it applies insights from psychology and social sciences to improve public administration and make government more effective and responsive.
