Administrative science and public management: a criticism of the primacy of private over public
Main Article Content
Abstract
Public management is strongly influenced by scientific administration, and several models which are applied in the public sphere had their origin in the field of administration. However, that science has been developed in a neoliberal context that reinforced the pursuit of maximum efficiency and profit under a strictly instrumental rationale. These aspects have led to much criticism, especially concerning the incorporation of thoughts and theoretical models into public management. This theoretical essay aims to weave an analysis of such aspects, considering ideas of various authors who discuss the theme, in order to contribute to discussions and reveal positions to enrich the debate.
