After the War, a great debate took place on the relative merits of spoils and a merit system. The supporters of the former believed that spoils were imperative to the health of political parties; therefore democracy and that benefaction guaranteed loyalty and responsibility (Shepherd, 2003)
Another alternative theory to the hierarchical approach is the systems theory, which perceives an organization as being a black box that interprets inputs into outputs.

Moreover, public administration is also a discipline that is taught in many higher education institutions. This discipline is based on the studies that revolve around the aforementioned implementation and therefore it prepares the civil servants that would be working for the public service in the future (Frederickson, 1997)
Apart from that, as a public service person myself I would make sure that all my goals are met in accordance with the ethical considerations and all the decisions taken by me are within the ethical premise. Policy Analysis The determination of the various alternative policies in order to achieve a specific set of goals with respect to the relations between the goals and the policies is referred to as policy analysis (Geva-May & Kfir, 2000)
In other words, it will not be wrong to say that ethics are the moral justification and the moral consideration that is brought into discussion when making decisions and taking any action that are taken while the daily duties are being completed when an employee is working to provide the general services of the nonprofit organizations as well the government (Menzel, 1997). The accountability standard that is used by the public so that it can scrutinize and the judge the workings of the members of the organizations of the government and the nonprofit ones is in fact termed as ethics (Hallunovi, Osmani & Basha, n
Lastly, formal models perceive bureaucracy as being an interconnection of contracts that are constructed around systems based on author and hierarchy. The authors have concluded that in spite of all the theoretical challenges that are present between the different theories, each approach adopts a significant truth pertaining to the organizations of the government (Harrison & Stupak, 2005)
There are various definitions that have been used to describe this term; "translation of politics into the reality that citizens see every day"; "the management of public programs" and "the study of the process of decision making by the government, the analysis of the devised policies, the different inputs that led to the production of these policies, and the inputs that are required for the production of the alternative policies" (Frederickson, 1997). The central concern of public administration is the organization of the policies of the government and its programs along with the attitude of the officials, who are normally non-elected, that are formally responsible for how they behave (Hood, 1995)
Human Resource Management Human resource management when considered as a part of public administration is basically concerned with its application especially to the field of public administration.

Social equity is a phrase that embodies many meanings within the field of public administration. Whereas traditionally public administration is concerned with offering more and better services given the available resources and maintenance of the level of service provided consumer, the New Public Administration is concerned with whether or not the level of service being offered customers enhances social equity (Frederickson, 1986)
The public administration of today concerns itself not only with management of these matters but also with supporting equitable and fair politicking for all public consumers, in all matters from policy making to governing. There will always be social conditions that are difficult to overcome including homelessness, teen pregnancy, chronic addiction and poverty (Rice, 2003)
Thus public administration is more concerned with coordination of efficient and economical services that promote social equity. Relationship to Administrative Due Process and other Constitutional Aspects of Public Administration Practice Powerlessness and feelings of powerlessness "are fostered by assertions that public servants should be detached, scientific, value-neutral" (Christopher & Rutledge, 2001)

Then, many parts of the New Orleans are below sea level. (Boaz, 2005) What this shows, is how for a period of decades before Hurricane Katrina there was a series of missteps that was fueled by the unethical behavior of various administrators / bureaucrats

It described a potential catastrophe very much like the one now happening." (Handwerk, 2005) This is significant because it describes the overall unethical behavior at the hands of various federal officials, who ignored the fact that the city was vulnerable to a hurricane
