bureaucracy in public administration

Bureaucracy in public administration refers to the organized system through which government agencies operate, characterized by structured rules, procedures, and departments. It ensures consistent, efficient, and fair delivery of public services by following established protocols. Bureaucracies rely on clear hierarchies, specialized roles, and formal processes to manage tasks such as issuing permits, enforcing laws, or providing social services. While it can sometimes be seen as slow or rigid, bureaucracy aims to maintain order, accountability, and transparency within government functions.
