(2) diffrences between Public Administration(PA) & Development Administration (DA)

Hello guys….what do you think the differences between public administration and development administrations?... let’s found about it…

Public administration is one of the courses that we have already taken when we were in Part3. The obvious difference between public administration and development administration is the areas cover by both of the fields. Public administration is a wide and quite general field of study as compared to the development administration. This is because development administration is a part and parcel of public administration. Basically, public administration covers all matters regarding the administration of the company such as in the improving revenue and finance system, developing and systematizing the personnel functions, creating management-improvement unit, improving specific administrative practices, and establishing schools and institutes of public administration. On the other hand, development administration involves the establishment of machinery for planning, economic growth and mobilization and allocating of resources to expand national income. Scholars and students in the discipline of development-administration are busy in researching to bring about rapid socio-economic change in developing countries.

The other difference between public administration and development administration is in term of policy. The development administration concerns on the making policy whereas the public administration covers matter regarding the implementation of the policy. It means that the agencies of the development administration are the parties that are responsible to create the policies while the public administration will implement the policies successfully. For example in the situation, when the government enforced the seatbelt policy. Before our country practices the policy, the development administration agency will make research and create the suitable policy. Public administration like the PDRM and JPJ will help to implement the policy by ensuring that the people follow the policy and will impose fine for those who disobey the policy.
