Public administration plays an important role in governing modern societies and ensuring civic order. It is considered the executive branch of government that implements laws and policies on a daily basis to provide services, regulate activities, and promote economic and social welfare. While thinkers disagree on the precise scope, public administration generally involves planning, organizing, staffing, directing, coordinating, reporting and budgeting to support the legislative and executive functions of government. It is seen as essential to a functioning state and maintaining stability, as governments may change but public administration aims to continue smoothly implementing policies.
