Abstract
The dynamic nature of public administration is faced with a significant number of problems. The nature of public development in most countries is alienated from the states, which is characterized with civic apathy and deliberate distance of the citizens from the administrative decision-making process. The exercising of power across the world prevails in the management practice, which has resulted in a significant number of problems in the communication and feedback functions of management. The aim of this paper is to establish one major problem that is affecting public administration, provide the solutions to this issue and finally provide few recommendations that will help in solving it.
Introduction
According to most scholars, at the end of the 20th century brought up mixed ideas on the need of changing the public administration paradigm (Hughes, 2012). It was at this time that scholars began to acknowledge the need of such a need with the objective of strengthening the nature of public governance. This move resulted in the change of state’s role from public goods production to management of market processes. The result of this new model of public administration was more emphasis on various principles such as of transparency, decentralization as well as incorporating state and market regulation and freedom of people.

The nature of public development in most countries is alienated from the states, which is characterized with civic apathy and deliberate distance of the citizens from the administrative decision-making process. The exercising of power across the world prevails in the management practice, which has resulted in a significant number of problems in the communication and feedback functions of management. This has created a contradiction in public administration due to the separation of management process from decision making and implementation strategies. Most scholars have indicated that for this contradiction to be resolved, there is a need for a new model of public administration and implementation mechanisms.
The reasons for these contradictions can be identified. One of the reasons is the conflict of interests between the need for public administration to observe its interests in a fair manner and balancing between the needs and interests with the objective of achieving them. The conflicting interests in public administration is the center of its problems. Some of the interests are partly met which leads to a clash for who should participate in the decision-making and implementation phases of most significant issues.
The second reason for the contradictions is the nature of public administration and the aim of the implementation strategies. This contradiction is caused by the desire of the state to provide stable development track to the society which sometimes results in chaos and dynamic disequilibrium. This implies that changes in the external environment of public administration affect its functioning and it should be flexible to such changes.
