Od biurokracji do nowego zarządzania publicznego

Abstract

The civil service and broader the public administration, should be more often the domain of managers, politicians apart from lawyers. Classically, the public management has adopted a hierarchical basis, the slim organizational structure with many levels and a small span of management – commonly called a bureaucratic. Currently, the term 'bureaucracy' is a synonym for lazy, inefficient, although it originally meant specialization, formalization, centralization, and the continuity of tasks. The purpose of this article is therefore to compare approaches to the administrative department – the bureaucratic and managerial one. There is also the attempt to identify the Polish position on the background of the European Union in this regard.
