| The paradigm shift of public administration is a product of natural evolution and the development of the times.The transformation of public administration paradigm has solved the crisis of public administration paradigm.The Western paradigm of public administration is in the political context of shifting from traditional authoritarian politics to modern democratic politics;The economic background of the transition from early agricultural and commodity economies to modern market economies;The shift from a traditional unitary society to a modern and diverse social context is an important factor driving the transformation of Western public administration paradigms,driven by the development of the times.In the development and evolution of Western public administration over a hundred years,it has undergone a transformation from the traditional public administration paradigm to the new public management paradigm and then to the new public service paradigm,with changes in value orientation,theoretical basis,research methods,and management models.In terms of value orientation,it has undergone a transformation from efficiency to market-oriented efficiency to public interest.On the theoretical basis,it has undergone a transformation from political science theory and management theory to economic theory to comprehensive theory.In terms of research methods,it has undergone a transformation from political science and management research methods to economic research methods to comprehensive research methods.In terms of management models,it has undergone a transformation from regulation to marketization to service-oriented.The theoretical logic behind the transformation of Western public administration paradigms is the transition from technical rationality to economic rationality,and then to public rationality,achieving the transition from organizational interests to individual interests,and then to public interests,as well as the transition from material to human centered.The paradigm shift of Western public administration plays an important role in promoting the development of Western public administration.By studying the paradigm shift of Western public administration,we can summarize the laws governing the development of Western public administration,guide public administration practices,and contribute to realizing the democratic value of public administration and maintaining the public value of the government;By studying the process and development laws of the transformation of Western public administration paradigms,we can provide valuable theoretical and methodological references for public administration research and government management in China.Therefore,this article will review the transformation process of the three paradigms of Western public administration development,the value of transformation,and the logic of internal development,exploring their role and impact on the development of public administration in China. |
