NEW PUBLIC MANAGEMENT IN ADMINISTRATION. EFFICIENCY OF THE MANAGEMENT PROCESS VERSUS LEGAL-ADMINISTRATIVE CONDITIONS

Summary/Abstract: NPM (New Public Management) is a doctrine of management in public administration, derived from economic theory but applied directly in practice. It marks a shift from administration based on rigid procedures and political influence (the so-called bureaucratic model) to management based on the economic grade of performance and the use of market mechanisms (the so-called managerial model). The reasons for adopting the solutions proposed by the NPM also include an attempt to slow down or reverse the proliferation of the administration with regard to its excessive spending and overstaffing. The economic crisis and the need to constantly improve competitiveness in economic activity also entail changes in the functioning of public administration. Solutions taken from business practice, which are also known in economic theory, are becoming increasingly common. These were initially referred to as 'new public management' and are now being developed as the 'co-management concept'.
